Good Stories, So Many White Dudes submitted by Meginator on July 4, 2018, 3:28pm Though this anthology does contain its share of excellent stories revolving around crime, I was disappointed to find it so thoroughly dominated by white men. With few bothering to incorporate strong female characters, the book tends to feel like an old boy’s club. Most of the stories are quite good, together showcasing the genre’s great variety and ambitions, but one has to wonder whose stories are not being told herein.
