Born Bad by Andrew Vachss
From a writer whose novels have been acclaimed for their unflinching exploration of evil comes a brilliant collection of short stories--some never before published--that distill dread back down to its essence--and inject it straight into the reader's back brain. Andrew Vachss might have scissored his characters from today's headlines: a stalker prowling around an anonymous high-rise; a serial killer whose transgressions reflect a childhood of hideous abuse; an inner-city gunman who is willing to take out a blockful of victims in order to win a moment of acceptance.Tautly written and endowed with murderous ironic spin, Born Bad plunges us into the hell that lies just outside our bedroom windows.
Andrew Vachss is a lawyer who solely defends children and adolescents. His numerous books and two collections of short stories have been translated into twenty languages, and his work has featured in periodicals such as Parade, Esquire, Playboy, and The New York Times, among others. He is a native New Yorker who splits his time between his hometown and the Pacific Northwest. www.vachss.com is a dedicated Web site for Andrew Vachss and his work.
