SHORT STORIES BY CONNOR DE BRULER "Hard-boiled is what you're going to get with Connor de Bruler's superb collection of short stories. For those who like their movies R-rated, with no filler, no moral restrictions, no magical resolutions, just gritty and raw storytelling. An absolute page-turner, with equal parts intensity and brevity." - Jonathan R. Rose, Carrion, The Spirit of Laughter and Gato Y Lobo. "de Bruler's collection rocks between Pizzolatto and Pynchon and defines the American geography of character with precision, and the occasional laugh-out-loud line: a catalogue of the underprivileged whose decadence and charm is unsettling and startling." - Walker Zupp, British Wittgenstein Society "Connor de Bruler's writing is magnetic." - Sam Lichtman, writer/director of Astray
