"The perfect stocking stuffer for your uncle in AA."--New York Observer "Just reading the table of contents for this fucker makes me want to hop in my time machine, zoom back to 1966, and find those two dubious physicians who used to write me scripts for Dexedrine, even though I was too tall and skinny to live already. Mainline this book now!"--James Ellroy

Megan's antho A HELL OF A WOMAN was a big hit as a birthday present for my crime-fiction-loving wife a few years ago.

That has some good stories in it. At the time she edited that book, she didn't know most of the people she asked to write stories for it. How nice they did it anyway.
