Product Description

Product Description

'Heath Lowrance follows up his classic debut, THE BASTARD HAND, with a searing collection of hard-boiled, dark fiction. The blackest of noir permeates the pages of DIG TEN GRAVES and oozes into its dark alleyways, its blood stained streets and its rain soaked gutters - even the crevices on the faces of its battle scarred and booze battered protagonists.' - Paul D Brazill, Drunk On The Moon, Guns Of Brixton, 13 Shots Of Noir.

5.0 out of 5 stars Genius 15 Nov 2011
By Christopher Rhatigan
Format:Kindle Edition
This here is a seriously impressive collection.

Lowrance writes the kind of stories that set up shop in your brain and rattle around in your chest. They're weird and crushing and true. They demand your attention.

He belongs in the same class as James Everington -- a first-rate writer of psychological horror.

Every story in here is a gem, but the first one, "It Will All Be Carried Away," slayed me. A suburban father's past shows up to haunt him. A girl he used to hook up with is dead and he becomes a bit obsessed with the details of her case. He starts remembering what he did to her -- and it's far more devastating than any harm you could cause with just a weapon. Lowrance expertly handles this non-linear narrative. A highly original and absorbing tale.

"Emancipation, With Teeth" is another favorite of mine. A work-a-day fellow is brushing his teeth when he notices something strange... something living inside him that will not be ignored. This is modern-alienation-turned-horror, a psychological problem with a physical manifestation.

It's actually difficult to talk about any single one of these stories. Lowrance has forged such a coherent collection that almost feels more like a novel. Similar themes keep popping up -- isolation, regret, human fragility, the illusion of security. Easily one of the top collections I've read in a long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Humour Noir 2 Nov 2011
By Seth Lynch
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Each short story, grave, has a death in there somewhere. They grow darker as you delve deeper in to the book, upping the dose to keep you high. These tales, full of dark humour, could have come straight from the writing shed of Roald Dahl - perhaps after he's spent a night drinking wine with Kafka. This is the Roald Dahl of Tales of the Unexpected. Dark stories - not all with a twist at the end: a few start off pretty twisted.

I'd never thought of Dahl as being a noir writer before, but I do now. These books aren't for children (neither are Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected) but I think I'd like to read a children's story by Lowrance: with all the sinister undercurrents of James and The Giant Peach, or Matilda.

3.0 out of 5 stars Short stories - hmmm 30 Dec 2012
By owlstalker
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Commenting on a collection of shorts is a problem. Some are good, some mediocre, some ...? I assigned a score out of 10 to each. A couple scored 9 - a couple 4. Several were weird - already commented by other reviewers. What sort of parent hunts alligators with their son as bait? (Well maybe sometimes). Overall enjoyable but I was left with the impression that the author may benefit from counselling.
