{"product_id":"even-the-wicked-get-worse-p-curran-9798988085287","title":"Even the Wicked Get Worse Than We Deserve","description":"A pile of sand accreted round a bend in the Mississippi. Eons of too-rich silt in a concave too unstable to farm. A jungle shunned by all but the worst species. A Spanish wreck the French refused to admit couldn't be saved. A monument to man's inhumanity, its streets named to honor music and the Muses and a slave exchange. End of the line for the almost-rans. If you can't make it here...stay anyway. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSet in New Orleans during the 1990s, the books function as an accidental time capsule after a 2005 levee breach demolished the city. Since their release, readers have commented on the odd continuity between the books and how they seemingly map out a lost corridor through the city's secret past. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSometimes called \"The 90s Trilogy\" or \"The Stay Out Trilogy\", the first three P. Curran books lay at the intersection of brutal crime \u0026amp; supernatural occult fiction, detailing the grind of living in a place celebrated for its culture and hospitality while maintaining a reputation for being, at various times, the world's murder capital. This sequel, another sly web of genre-defying tales, weaves characters and places from those earlier books into the treacherous new flora that sprung up in the flood's wake.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e P.
