Yes, it is graphic and not for the weak of heart - or stomach - but his writing and the way he assembles words and writes fiction in the hard core noir genre, as far as I'm concerned, goes unmatched. I really would love to see some streaming service do an anthology of his tales with imagery such as that found in Frank Miller's Sin City movies.E.

I'm not sure all of these would be for me, but I respect a good gritty story that takes place in a gritty place and is about gritty people. Glad you enjoyed these.
