Dirty Snow and other stories

First Edition

Martin Stanley (Writer)

From the author of Fighting Talk and The Glasgow Grin, this hard-hitting anthology of novellas and short stories catch the Stanton brothers at their most fierce and foul-mouthed. Bone-crunching action, wisecracking dialogue, and a rogue's gallery of savage villains are all here in the most exciting collection of the year.

In Dirty Snow the brothers go up against Santa. No, not the real Santa (because he doesn't exist, silly), but white-bearded look-a-like and former nightclub bouncer Mal Nixon. The twists and action in this cracking novella will have you laughing with surprise and keep you on the edge of your seat until the satisfying finale. In The Beautiful Game and The Greatest Show in Town (substantially reworked and rewritten since their first publication in 2012), the brothers go up against a gang of youths with a taste for robbing football fans and Barry 'The Baztard' Brownlow and his titanium knuckles. In One Sixteenth and The Fight, the brothers inflict their own special brand of chaos on anybody foolish enough to cross their paths.

These prime cuts of northern Brit Grit are not for the faint of heart. But if you're feeling brave, come and have a go at the Stanton brothers if you think you're hard enough.

WARNING: CONTAINS VERY STRONG LANGUAGE AND VIOLENCE THROUGHOUT. NOT FOR THE EASILY OFFENDED OR THOSE OF A SENSITIVE DISPOSITION.
