Noir isn’t pretty. Neither is New Jersey . Especially in Cindy Rosmus’s fifteen tales of thieving mommies, inept hit men, homicidal trannies, and dysfunctional adolescents trapped in pre-casino Atlantic City . Not nice people doing nasty stuff that will turn and bite you back. This Jersey reeks of toxic waste and loss. This is a Jersey that Springsteen, himself, would be scared to sing about. But these stories, from Yellow Mama's editor - Cindy Rosmus, you can’t help but read.
