Sex, drugs, and gambling seduce the characters in \u003cb\u003eLOOKING FOR ACTION\u003c\/b\u003e. In the title story, \u003cb\u003eHARD LUCK\u003c\/b\u003e, a hard-drinking sheriff enforces his own kind of law. A once imprisoned biker returns to his hometown to witness a backwoods, bare-knuckle brawl in \u003cb\u003eTHE FIGHT\u003c\/b\u003e. In the dark, hillbilly gothic tale \u003cb\u003eYOUR BIRD, MY CAT\u003c\/b\u003e, a young boy is fascinated by the chance to see the female anatomy up-close and personal for the first time. A man rides the rails looking to escape the perils of his hometown only to discover a town much stranger and more unlivable than his own in \u003cb\u003eBOXCAR TO PARADISE\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003cbr\u003eThe stories in this collection spring in and out of the gritty country noir genre and often land in steamy piles of contemporary and dirty realism.
