Bastard Blue Murray Dunlap

"Bastard Blue is a first book but there's more than promise on display within its pages. This collection introduces us to a fully realized talent. Murray Dunlap's voice is confident, his characters richly drawn, his sense of place as vivid as you will find in fiction. Sentence for sentence his prose is crisp and direct, edged somehow with both menace and hope. He has a knack for creeping up to sentiment in his stories without crossing the line, leaving only genuine, well-earned emotion on the page. This book is so fine somebody should offer a money back guarantee." - Michael Knight, author of The Typist
