D. Armstrong\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRD Armstrong is a fictional character living in a 'dime' novel world. He prefers to adopt this persona in order to spare his family any humiliation that might otherwise befall them. Aside from his obvious lack of a moral compass (he attributes this to years spent at the bottom of the barrel studying the denizens of Slackerville and Bohemia) or even the ability to discern up from down, Raindog (as he is known by many) has carved out a niche in the alternative small press as both poet and philosopher. In other words, he can sling shit with the best (and worst) of them. He has been published widely in both print and on the web. His book credits include Fire and Rain selected poems 1993-2007 (volume 1 \u0026amp; 2), On\/Off the Beaten Path - the Road Poems, Roadkill, Last Call: The Legacy of Charles Bukowski, Bone, The San Pedro Poems, Pedro Blue, In Memoriam, The Hunger, and Paper Heart.
