More booze. More drugs. More sex. Welcome back to Wonderland… Alex thought he’d finally found the love of his life. But ever since saving his boyfriend Steven from a kidnapper, he’s returned to his own warped version of a twelve-step program. Step one: Stock up on gin. Step two: Score some blow from the Caterpillar. Step three: Dance the night away. Steps four through twelve: Repeat…repeat…repeat…. Sure, Alex knows he’s on a downward spiral. But he doesn’t realize how far he’s fallen until he attends his girlfriend Dinah’s bachelorette party—in Wonderland. The hottest, craziest dance club in town, it’s packed with painful reminders of Alex’s mistakes. Overwhelmed, Alex spins further out of control, until a face from the past comes back to haunt him. When his life—what’s left of it—is put in jeopardy again, Alex is forced to take a good hard look in the mirror—to save his friends, his lovers…and himself. Don’t miss Wonderland, the wonderfully wild debut by Rob Browatzke

Contract killers have long been a point of interest for readers of crime fiction and action film fans. Dead-End Jobs: A Hitman Anthology offers up eighteen works of short fiction from some of the hottest writers in the business. While the stories all depict professional killers, they are wildly different in their tone and the styles in which they are written, as well as the way they are depicted and the point-of-view from which they're told. Some of these killers are seasoned professionals and others are new to the killing game. Some stories find their settings in urban locales such as New York City or Los Angeles and others in backwater rural locations. There are also contract killers of every stripe. Some stories depict the traditional organized crime gunmen while others feature corner boys doing the bidding of neighborhood drug dealers and the like. The stories in this collection are fast-paced and action-packed. Just as there are contract killers of varying pedigrees here, Dead-End Jobs features the writing of veteran wordsmiths such as Joe R. Lansdale, Max Allan Collins, and Stephen Spignesi, as well as new but equally exciting writers. Each author in this collection is as skilled as the hitters depicted in the stories. But their weapons are words instead of rifles and pistols, and every one absolutely kills here. Praise for DEAD-END JOBS: “An incredible collection of powerful and haunting stories that exist in that shadowy realm between tragedy, nihilism and noir.” —S.A. Cosby, author of Blacktop Wasteland
