Porn stars, loan sharks, hitmen, pimps, junkies, whores and thieves; losers rolling snake eyes with every toss. 14 psychologically disturbing tales from independent operators making moves outside the five families of traditional publishing…It’s another indie noir star-studded line up. The man behind Ford Fairlane, rock and roll detective—Rex Weiner, has a story in this issue. Tough magazine editor, Rusty Barnes makes his Switchblade debut, along with Jim Thomsen, Aidan Thorn, Mike Payne, John Bosworth, George Garnet, Scot Carpenter and Evelyn Deshane. We also welcome back repeat offenders, E.F. Sweetman, Tais Teng, Danny Sophabmisay, Tom Barlow, and Travis Richardson. Featuring the poetry of William R. Soldan.

Predators thrive on entropy. They're often the ones closest to us. They know where we're most vulnerable-where it hurts the most. They come in all types. They cruise the street anonymously, looking for victims; or they return to us like a lethal rash from an unresolved past. They might be ideological extremists. Or profit-driven sharply dressed parasites. They might even be megalomaniacs. But they all thrive on weakness-especially dysfunctional relationships. And they know when to strike, when you think the world's got your back-and then you realize it does: when it whispers softly that what you're about to receive is nothing more than a routine prostate exam.
