This review is from: New Noir (Paperback)
John Shirley's notorius, exciting, revolutionary collection. John Shirley's talent lies in his abilty to shock, and inspire many emotions at once. Many of the stories in this collection are very funny, and some are extremely shocking and depressing, they span many genres, but all very distinct to John Shirley. My personal favorite in this is called "'I want to get married,' says the world's smallest man". The small person in question is and up-and-coming actor, working to achive his dream of working with his hero, Arnold Swartzanagre. He also has an article in the Enquirer, with an adress for women to write to if they want to marry him. The woman who responds is a crack whore. Funny but disturbing. Some of these stories also apear in Shirley's other, larger short story collection "Really, Really, Really, Really, Weird Stories" which i also would recomend.

Murderous,
By Dick Johnson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: New Noir (Paperback)
Killers just want to have fun or have sex or have drugs. The characters in these stories are folks you do not want to meet. I hope they are not based on folks that Shirley has known.
"New Noir" is a short quick read, but I'm not sure I would have survived more of this. These stories are raw, obscene, violent and scary. But, I'm sorry to say, most if not all of these types of events can be found in police records. This was my first exposure to Shirley, and I definitely want to read more. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:
