Review title: A short, sharp blade
Product review: Andrew Vachss is a decent novelist. Decent meaning that for his books, it is the content that draws the reader in and makes you hang on. All the descriptions of his work you can find in any reviews are applicable: taut, sharp, hard-boiled to the core. It is in his short story prowess that he excels. These stories are quick and to the point. There is hardly more than the bare explanation that is his style and it sometimes takes the reader a moment to catch his breath and say, "Wow." Yet, there is enough to drag one's attention into every character and make you sweat, wondering when vengence is going to come and how. Another great collection of Vachss stories.
