Description
Take a roller coaster ride through the gutter in this gripping crime thriller from the award winning screenwriter, director, and novelist S. Craig Zahler. Inspired by the great pulp writers of the 50s and 60s—like David Goodis, Charles Willeford, George V. Higgins, and Jim Thompson—THE SLANTED GUTTER is a devastating character study painted with the darkest shades of noir, whose depictions of violence reach a level more commonly seen in contemporary horror fiction.
Zahler’s riveting narrative revolves around Darren Tasking, an entrepreneur whose business is people, specializing in risk, pleasure, and fear. The police tried to keep him down but they couldn't keep him incarcerated forever. Now he's older, and uncommonly careful, but when he meets a dancer named Erin Green at the Cherry Red strip club everything changes, putting him on a collision course with unrepentant sadists, machos, and a trap created by the slick's own extortionist machinations.
Step into this gutter at your own risk.
