Praise for Bullets, Teeth, & Fists 3:
"Violence comes into it, certainly: but the violence is never unproblematic, either for the character or the reader. It's always violence that comes from somewhere and cuts both ways." "This anthology is well-written, creative, thrilling, and bloody enthralling." "I was looking forward to some fast-paced crime stories that packed a punch, but there is substantially more depth and breadth to this book." "The author infuses his tales with irony and astute observation. Good characterisation throughout and clever storylines, each with a satisfying twist and an unexpected ending, make for a highly entertaining read." "What makes this book a joy to read is the fact that you can't guess what the ending of each story will be!" "If you like short stories with kick & bite these are the ones for you." "I definitely recommend Bullets, Teeth, & Fists 3 to anyone who likes the dark and gritty stories. It's definitely not for the faint of heart." "If you enjoy pulp fiction, dark crime, supernatural or noir, then there will be something for you." "What I find really fascinating is that each short story is crafted with a specific voice. The mood, the character, the setting, the vernacular... different in each."
