TERMINAL DAMAGE - THE DSD SHORT STORY COLLECTION
So, I've been buying a few ebooks lately. And I've downloaded that Kindle for PC thingy, too! How mod am I?!
The first book that I downloaded was TERMINAL DAMAGE, a short story collection from the Do Some Damage lads, and lass.
There's a typically smashing cover from John Hornor Jacobs and an introduction from Jason Pinter.
I've only read one story so far. 'Last Man Standing' by Rusell D McLean is just great. A couple of Scots take too much of a bite out the Big Apple. And choke on it. Or something. Spot on dialogue and great pacing.
I'll get stuck into the other stories as soon as.
Here's what they say about TERMINAL DAMAGE:
'Imagine the worst day of your life. Now imagine that day in an airport. The eight authors of DoSomeDamage.com bring together eight stories of murder and mayhem in these linked stories -- tied together by a single, horrible visit to the airport.
From the grandfather in Joelle Charbonneau's SKATING AROUND THE LAW to a team of thugs from Jay Stringer, the stories here show what happens when all hell breaks loose on the concourse.
In addition to Charbonneau and Stringer, the collection boasts stories from John McFetridge (LET IT RIDE, DIRTY SWEET), Dave White (WHEN ONE MAN DIES, THE EVIL THAT MEN DO), Russel D. McLean (THE LOST SISTER, THE GOOD SON), Byron Quertermous (A LOAD OF QUERTERMOUS), Scott D. Parker (ROUND ONE), and Steve Weddle (NEEDLE Magazine).

From the introduction by Jason Pinter:
"Each member of DSD brings their own voice and perspective to this captivating story, the rush of noir carrying many different scents with it. Think about your worst day. Got it in your mind? Reliving it? Well, it's a picnic with apple pie and wine spritzers compared to what you're about to read.
So whether you've already been exposed to the wiles of the Do Some Damage crew, or you're looking for a story with so much nitroglycerin that you won't just miss your subway stop, but blow the station right off the map, check out this anthology. But when you realize your hands and feet are bound, you can't get up from the seat, and strangers and peering at your slack-jawed reaction in jealousy, don't say I didn't warn you."

Thanks for the mention, sir. Russel always brings it, doesn't he?
I have this in the Kindle and am looking forward to the read after I finish Discount Noir.
You know, I haven't read a lot of Russell's stuff. More to catch up with. Just read Dave White's blinder of a story.
