Hard Boiled Love: An Anthology of Noir Love [Paperback]

Kerry Schooley (Editor), Peter Sellers (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 2003

From the editors of the acclaimed noir anthology 'Iced' comes a scintillating new post-Valentine's Day gift, a book about the many ways love can go wrong. And don't pretend you've no idea what we're talking about...Consider your own relationship. How much have you revealed to your lover, and how many of these special intimacies have they shared with others? Do you even know the nature of your partner's deepest thoughts? You can't watch over them every moment; in fact you may already have been deceived several times this week! Editors Schooley and Sellers continue their exploration of contemporary noir by gathering a dozen stories from veteran crime writers and emerging, gritty, authors alike. They even throw in a few surprises for good measure. Stories of love misdirected and misplaced. Stories about the passion of obsession and the calculation of deception. Stories of searing jealousy. Stories of grinding indifference. Stories to remind us that in a cold, empty landscape, 'Hard Boiled Love' may be the only warmth there is.
