About this ebook
From a writer whose novels have been acclaimed for their unflinching exploration of evil comes a brilliant collection of short stories—some never before published—that distill dread back down to its essence—and inject it straight into the reader's back brain. Andrew Vachss might have scissored his characters from today's headlines: a stalker prowling around an anonymous high-rise; a serial killer whose transgressions reflect a childhood of hideous abuse; an inner-city gunman who is willing to take out a blockful of victims in order to win a moment of acceptance.
Tautly written and endowed with murderous ironic spin, Born Bad plunges us into the hell that lies just outside our bedroom windows.

I have been reading andrew for years and recently picked up his books again.The first half is great but the last half lost me completely. I actually dont like the man's character on facebook as he is a very rude no it all.But andrew your character's are just the same old same like cross.Instead of biting people's head's of for questioning you like I have seen you do countless times on facebook maybe have a look at yourself in the mirror before you put the people down who help pay your bills...
