Measures of Poison

This hefty noir anthology from legendary small-press publisher Dennis
McMillan offers 24 original stories by many of the best writers in the
field, including Michael Connelly, James Crumley, James Sallis, George
P. Pelecanos, the late Charles Willeford…and, as well, a story from Christopher Cook.

Measures of Poison is a special anniversary edition
celebrating 20 years of select publishing by a man known internationally
for the superb quality of his premium and luxury editions: Dennis
McMillan, aka D.R. McMillanheimer, Antiguo Casa de las Guitarristas de Moron de la Frontera, aka D’Ray D’Oro D’Finito.

“Mostly set in the ’30s, the stories largely involve lowlifes adrift
in their shadowy worlds. The mood is dark, but not all of the characters
are losers. Some win, turning the tables on their adversaries. The
eye-catching dust jacket, featuring an old-fashioned medicine bottle
with the contributors’ names on the label, perfectly complements this
quality package.”
