I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.
Violence for Fun and Profit by Gregory L. Norris.
An extremely violent tale about justice after the mortgage crises. Deals with homelessness and American greed, and is an unusual splatterpunk tale - although if I tell you why, it'll spoil the end. I had to go back and fact check: the author did everything perfectly, but made me think he hadn't. Tricky!
I love this collection so far. I'd forgotten how uncomfortable these stories could get, but in the best of ways. I have to track down my old collection - called Splatterpunk - down now :D
