Peter M. Ball made his debut as a speculative fiction writer in 2007, but he’d already been writing for over a decade before turning his attention to science fiction and fantasy. This chapbook brings two early, formative short stories back into print, featuring the discontinuous, post-modern grunge-lit of Night, Morning, Story and the crude horror of Impact. The chapbook also includes a short author’s note, positioning these early works in the landscape of Ball’s later career and his first steps away from writing poetry. Ideal for fans who enjoy not just the deep cuts of an author’s back catalogue, but delving all the way back to see early influences and techniques in their nascent form.
There is a new category of authors blurring the line between fiction and nonfiction: women who work or have worked in criminal justice--lawyers, police officers and forensic investigators--who publish crime fiction with characters that resemble real-life counterparts. Drawing on their professional experience, these writers present compelling portrayals of inequality and dysfunction in criminal justice systems from a feminist viewpoint. This book presents the first examination of the true-crime-infused fiction of authors like Dorothy Uhnak, Kathy Reichs and Linda Fairstein.
