Beschreibung:
Across four different districts of a city that has torn itself to shreds, four different interweaving tales (each written by a different author) play out. In "Four Corners," a morally dubious banker must keep his employer happy at any cost. The next story, "Punhos Sagrados," concerns a boxer who finds himself torn between honor and the woman he loves. "Golden Geese" follows a hardened criminal with a terrifying condition who must come to terms with the life he’s led. Finally, "Jamais Vu" provides a stunning denouement as a man searches endless for his missing daughter, a task which is complicated by a peculiar condition: his inability to recognize faces. Told in rugged, bare-knuckled prose, Soul Standard is a nonstop thrill-ride down the darkened avenues and through the shadowed alleys of a nightmare town.
The economy has fallen, and flesh is worth more than dollars. Across four different districts of the City, a desperate banker must keep his employer happy at any cost, a boxer must choose between honor and the woman he loves, a criminal must atone for his past, and a man with a terrifying condition searches desperately for his missing daughter.Richard Thomas is the editor in chief of Dark House press.Caleb Ross is the author of five books of fiction.Axel Taiari is a French writer.Nik Korpon is the author of several books of fiction.
