"Little Black Crimes" by Nathaniel Blackhelm. I was sent my copy in exchange for an honest review.
This is a collection of eleven dark fiction/crime noir tales, all revolving around the world of human horrors. Inside this collection, you'll find stories about incredibly heavy topics such as abortion, guns, rape, murder, and suicide. All the stories inside are impeccably written. The emotion they evoked was truly shocking. I highlighted entire passages while reading, allowing me to really soak in the messages of these stories.
".38 Special Kind of Love" is a story so well written that you don't realize what is going on until the end.
"Yellow Light, Red Light" reminded me of he Black Lives Matter movement. This was a truly powerful story, and it made me incredibly sad to know there are people who have and do experience racism on this level every single day.
"Projectionist vs. Priest" is a story I felt on a severely personal level. It depicts sexual abuse within the Christian church and impacted me tremendously.
"Ricardo's Second Coming" was a story told in a series of conversations. The storyline was intriguing, and it's definitely a story you just have to read for yourself, but I enjoyed this one very much.
