This is the first published collection of short stories by RD Armstrong aka Raindog. Known mostly as a poet and publisher, RD has been writing short stories for about ten years. These stories are not for the faint of heart, as they deal with the seamy side of life and are written in a style that is reminiscent of "film noir" and pulp fiction (especially the title story). If you are a fan Charles Bukowski's stories, then you'll find that El Pagano and Other Twisted Tales is a must read.
