Praise
“Brilliant…Edge City is truly an extraordinary book in every way: story, people, atmosphere, writing.”
—Hubert Selby, Jr., author of Last Exit to Brooklyn
“Sin Soracco cooks! Her writing is beyond hip—it struts and whistles down the last dark mile. Edge City, like her Low Bite, is the bad girl’s version of Mean Streets, an unbeatable double-feature for the fearless.”
—Barry Gifford, author of Wild at Heart
“Dark and sultry . . . an illuminating view of hell as a nightclub that never closes.”
—New York Times
“Meandering through pools of booze and moments of tawdry sex and
petty larceny, Soracco’s dense, bravura narrative is a triumph of
(hard-boiled) style.”
—Library Journal
“There are a number of writers today who are using the noir genre in
creative and original ways, but there are fewer who have a truly
original voice. Sin Soracco’s Edge City is one of those rare originals.”
—Glenn Harper, International Noir blog

Praise
“Vicious, funny, cunning, ruthless, explicit…a tough original look at inside loves and larcenies.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Where else can you find the grittiness of girls-behind-bars mixed
with intelligence, brilliant prose, and emotional ferocity? Sin Soracco
sets the standard for prison writing. Hardboiled and with brains!”
–Peter Maravelis, editor of San Francisco Noir 1 and 2
“Tells a gripping story concerning a group of women in a California
prison: their crimes, their relationships, their hopes and dreams.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Sin Soracco is the original Black Lizard. Low Bite will take a chunk out of your leg if not your heart. Read it, it will devour you.”
–Barry Gifford, author Port Tropique; founder of Black Lizard Books
