Derek Raymond offers the readers a journey through a sewer of drugs, poverty, violence, and filth, and such existential weariness and spiritual disparity that the ending makes sense of sorts. A spiritual cousin of Ellroy’s nihilism this book followed an unnamed detective’s obsessive search through a dead man’s tape collection for clues to his murderers. Not for the faint of heart or easily depressed. Great intro is provided by James Sallis who does his usual enthusiastic and intelligent job. I would totally watch/read the play “A Nasty Little Story”.
