Another high-quality batch with notable variety in settings, periods, and tones. Patti Abbott, a master practitioner, is always worth reading. The newcomers this time were also outstanding. I just have one minor criticism: I thought two of the entries felt more like excerpts from novels than standalone short stories.

Thuglit 8 is the latest installment of the series and another hard hitting anthology of eight stories that portray life on the edges of society. If you want to feel good about humanity you should look elsewhere for your reading material. Or, read Thuglit 8 after donning a pair of rose tinted glasses and loading your favorite shotgun.After a brief intro by Todd Robinson, the stories begin with “McFerrin and Black” by Buster Willoughby. Working at the retirement home is a hard job, but it has its
Eight new selections from the thugs themselves. As with other Thuglit collections, it's still a better use of your time to read it then just about anything else would be. My five favorites are discussed below.The second story is The a Rightful King Of Wrestling by Chad Dundas.

It is told on the first person and that choice works as the reader gets to know the aging wrestler burdened with injuri...
Really enjoy Chad Dundas' short fiction.
Decent stories but nothing that I would pound the table for saying you have to read this.
Usual collection of bad guys vs. worse guys. Dark stories of bad shit happens to bad people. Always a good anthology of the genre.
