Crooked Roads by Alec Cizak
5.0
Crooked Roads is the brutal life in Indianapolis (at least I'm going to say it feels like it) that you don't want to find yourself down ever. One wrong turn can get you caught up; one right turn can leave you dead. Or for dead. Life in Crooked Roads is darker than anything happening in a Donald Goines' Detroit, filled with the cousins he left behind in the 1970s that discovered new and improved ways to be immoral people as a means of survival whether or not it translates good in practical use.
I'd consider this a dark noir. People are going to do something they shouldn't; it's a matter of when not if. And when they do it you know the sky will fall, somebody has to pay the piper, and somebody is not making it home to watch Monday Night Football. If you like short story anthologies, this one's a page turner.
