Decent collection of up-and-coming noir fiction. A friend of mine is published in here and I went to a reading of several of the authors. It has some saggy stories but overall it's an excellent light read.
Any anthology is hot and cold. Blood, Guts, and Whiskey falls into inconsistency, as can happen in a collection with so many stories. The anthology focuses mostly on the crime fiction subgenre.

Read this collection just because there was a Jordan Harper story in it. Unfortunately I’d already read it and none of the others were even close to as good.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If you are a fan of modern noir this book is a must. This is a well balanced, fast paced collection. There is enough variance in the styles of the individual stories to show a wide range of noir.
