Ed G Phillips & Jervey Tervalon 
The Cocaine Chronicles 

This ambitious anthology of jaw-grinding criminal behavior is masterfully curated by acclaimed authors Phillips and Tervalon. Cocaine, that most troubling and fascinating of substances is the subject, the subtext, the whys and whereofs in Cocaine Chronicles, a collection of original short stories that are funny and harrowing, sad and scary, but at all times riveting. Cocaine Chronicles contains tough tales by a cross-section of today's most thought-provoking writers.
In this bold anthology, we meet the casual sniffers, the heavy users, the dealers, the victims and the unsuspecting victims – hysterical romps, tragic characters and unfathomable lows – rendering cocaine a drug that is anything but glamorous. The Cocaine Chronicles is assembled in four sections that loosely dictate the varying degrees of addiction and the affects that cocaine has on its participants.
This is the best fiction anthology of cocaine-themed tales to blow through in years, featuring ALL NEW stories from Susan Straight, Lee Child, Jerry Stahl, Ken Bruen, Laura Lippman, Bill Moody, Nina Revoyr, and many more.
