Switchblade (Issue Sixx) is Tough As Nails Pulp FictionOffering a generous variety of authors, styles, and thrills, this issue of Switchblade will prove satisfying to veteran Pulp fans but also offers a rock solid starting point for readers interested in checking out New Pulp for the first time.Highly recommended.
Another great issue and it had me pondering how editor Scotch Rutherford has a great eye for not just a great story, but emminently readable ones. The flow of the tales is always great and there is never a dull moment. This is sharp noir at its finest."Cold Comfort" by John Bosworth takes a twist on prostitution and what kind of bang you're getting for your buck. "The Vice Aisle" by Mike Payne sees a grocery store manager dip into the dark side on the nightshift in a tale with both a great premi...
Great collection of noir tales.While I enjoyed every piece, my favorites of the collection are John Bosworth’s “Cold Comfort,” “The Bargain” by Tom Barlow, and “Violet” by Evelyn Deshane. Bosworth’s story is a reminder that there’s someone out there for everyone. In Barlow’s contribution, the main character tries to get ahead with a bucketload of pure moxy and a gift with purchase. Deshane’s work brings the reader to the big 80’s and an encounter with the woman who inspired Violet to embrace her...
It's always utter bliss when the post delivery arrives with the next issue of Switchblade.William R. Soldan’s dark, urban poetry starts this volume off, setting the scene perfectly for the hard-boiled and noir tales to follow. As always with Switchblade, I really, really enjoyed every piece I read here; it’s another stellar collection of the hard-boiled and noir talent out there. Three pieces of flash fiction follow the Soldan poem.“Down Payment” by George Garnet: You’re never too young to prote...
After enjoying the hell out of Switchblade 5, Issue Sixx was like the laced icing on a cake filled with sharp, pointy things. Meaning I loved it, too. So many good stories here.Damn you, Switchblade. You got me hooked with a small taste like any clever pusher does and now I want more.
Another collection of down-and-dirty noir, hard men and women, bad decisions, and worst luck. The writing comes at you like a lone pair of headlights in a narrow alley with no escape. These aren't feel good stories wear everything comes out all right in the end, and you might end up questioning your own values, your own beliefs a little more at the end of the day. Everyone thinks they know what they'd do when backed up against the wall... but reading these stories where everything goes sideways
