Product Description

Product Description

This short story collection features a rare cast of characters: flawed, foul-mouthed, misguided and downtrodden, all of whom might be said to have, in one way or another, ‘gone bad’. This is strong stuff, no holds barred and no punches pulled. You wouldn’t want to be sharing the last bus home with these people.

Gone Bad has the distinctive flavour of north east England and gathers together 18 titles, mixing ‘flash fiction’ pieces with longer reads. Within the pages you can meet a murderous little boy, a psychotic Scouse backing singer, and a wannabe crime fiction writer with a penchant for hands-on research. Add to that a dishonest lottery winner, predatory girlfriend, long-suffering private detective and would-be rapist and you’re starting to get the lie of the land.

Praise for Gone Bad:

This was a terrific read. Highly recommended to any crime, drama, or thriller fans. (Smashwords)

Julie Morrigan is a rare find, tight smart prose used to tell dark, wildly entertaining tales of the darker side of the street. I WANT MORE. (GoodReads)

Judging from this collection, it's safe to say that from the dark and gritty depths of urban noir a new queen has risen. (GoodReads)

Five Brutal Stars 28 Mar 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
Julie Morrigan has, under her many aliases, had noir stories published in places like Out Of The Gutter, A Twist Of Noir, Radgepacket Online, Thrillers Killers N Chillers and Powder Burn Flash. And now she put out GONE BAD- a short story collection which is simply spot-on.

GONE BAD is a tight collection of eighteen slices of the hard side of life. The characters in GONE BAD are painfully familiar in these accurate snapshots of life.

Petty thief louts, twockers, rapists, pervy priests, debt collectors, working girls and country singers. All human life is here. These are people on the edge and over the edge. The underbelly and much further down.

The stories, are clever, scary, sad and very, very funny. This is true dirty realism. Brit Grit noir meets kitchen sink drama - except the kitchen sink is blocked with fast food, cheap blow, lager and blood.

Some of my favourites include the Spinetingler Award nominated `Watching', the chilling `Local Hero', 'Pick A Pig Night' and, my favourite of them all, the brilliantly brutal `Let's Dance.'

It's dark. It's dangerous. It's difficult.

It's also delicious, like the best fair trade chocolate, bitter with a touch of sweet, then bitter.

Recommended.

Outstanding 24 Oct 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
Gone Bad was the first e-book I bought and I wasn't disappointed.

Gone Bad is a collection of short stories from the darker side of life. Julie has an ability to create memorable characters in very few words and follow it up with original and frankly, sometimes quite disturbing situations. The first story's a corker, it sent real shivers down my spine, and it's unputdownable after that.
