Welcome back to 42nd Street where nightmares become reality. Where a two-bit hustler can become a hero. The pimps and prostitute's platform shoes click and clack the block creating the native drumbeat of desire. Pete Chiarella takes you back to the most dangerous block in America, The Deuce. Back to a long-gone era with Four-Teen Tales of pure pulp sleaze reminiscent of the dime novels of yesteryear. An era that will frighten the easily triggered minds of the politically correct 21st century. Chiarella's storytelling makes Netflix obsolete and reading hip again!
