The Things I Love Will Kill Me Yet

The Things I Love Will Kill Me Yet

Escape. Lust. Revenge. Rob Pierce writes with an understanding of the darkness in the hearts of people whoâ€™ve been struck and need to strike back. From gun dealers to murderers to the simply self-destructive, The Things I Love Will Kill Me Yet is filled with stories of men and women whose dreams can never take them out of their realities.

"Rob Pierce isn't scared to ask the hard questions. Instead he throws them out like loose change, sits back and watches the masses scuffle, as he enjoys another beer on your dime. Like your weird, creepy uncle who gets soused every Thanksgiving, he's offensive and makes your politically correct girlfriend cringe, but, damn if he doesn't speak the truth."
Joe Clifford, Lamentation and December Boys

"In Rob Pierceâ€™s brilliant collection of stories, The Things I Love Will Kill Me Yet, we witness a parade of losers who seem to float through the swimming pool of life without ever having mastered the skill of swimming and keep exhibiting surprise when they end up in the deep end and learn the lifeguard is on his break. Theyâ€™re all victims, but what grants them grace is that they donâ€™t realize theyâ€™re victims. An experience akin to watching a train wreck from a safe vantage point. You keep telling yourself you should look away but you never do becauseâ€¦ wellâ€¦ because itâ€™s absolutely fascinating."
Les Edgerton, The Rapist, The Bitch, The Genuine Imitation Plastic Kidnapping

"Rob Pierce writes about low-class losers, despondent desperadoes, alcoholic angst, and blue collar blues with such authentic empathy that one assumes he is writing from his own experience. Whether thatâ€™s the actual case is immaterial, because youâ€™ll both relish and relate to these harshly humanistic tales of desperate dreams and neurotic nightmares."
Will Viharo, author of The Thrillville Pulp Fiction Collection and The Vic Valentine Classic Case Files

"Hard drinking, hard hitting and hard luck. Rob Pierce comes out swinging in this impressive collection filled with desperate people making bad decisions for all the wrong reasons. Every one of these stories lands like a punch to the gut."
S.W. Lauden, Bad Citizen Corporation

"Rob Pierceâ€™s stories are like love letters to the damned. In The Things I Love Will Kill Me Yet, Pierce captures the doomed lives of people not just on the edge, but hurtling towards it at eighty miles an hour."
Mike Miner, author of Prodigal Sons and Hurt Hawks
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Tough stories flawlessly written that go down like a single-malt Scotch, Rob Pierce delivers a gripping montage of what happens when things go wrong. A commanding voice in crime fiction. If youâ€™re not reading Rob Pierce, you have some exciting catching up to do."
Greg Barth, Selena and Diesel Therapy
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Rob Pierce is a master of the urban gothic, creating perfectly imperfect characters fighting through a life of bad choices and missed opportunities. Tough life. Tough luck. Tight read. I loved it."
Marietta Miles, Route 12

"The sum total of the collection is even more powerful than its considerable component parts and it is, therefore, a shining example of an anthology. Best of all, the stories continue to live on after the words have been left behind; itâ€™s this stirring of my imagination that I enjoyed most of all. Terrific and inspiring fiction."
Nigel Bird, Southsiders
