Description
This is not the world of heroes.
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap delivers a hard-hitting anthology of blood-drenched vengeance, haunted pasts, and the bleak seduction of survival at any cost. In these pages, con artists barter in lies and ghost stories. Mercenaries stalk fog-drenched cities where morality drowns in saltwater. Runaways rise from chains to fire and fury. And somewhere in the woods, a monument made of bones watches a girl build meaning from death, one brittle piece at a time.
Told in voices as sharp as broken glass, these tales don't ask for your forgiveness. They dare you to look away.
Cheap? Maybe. Dirty? Oh yes. Done? Not until the last body falls.

I was under the impression that this was an anthology of Crime/Horror stories, but it turned out to be a fusion of Fantasy/Crime, and that's not normally to my tastes. Horrible things do occur, but it is, strictly speaking, not Horror. I found it difficult to get onto the characters and I'm generally not a fan of High Fantasy, that takes place in imaginary cities.
However! If that is your thing...if you love writers like Patrick Rothfuss, for example, but darker and grittier, with gray characters, then these stories are just right for you.
This was a great collection of horror stories and worked as this anthology, it had that element that I was wanting and enjoyed in this universe. I was engaged from the description and enjoyed the overall feel of this book. I enjoyed the overall feel of this book and how the author's wrote this perfectly.

Interesting mix of creepy stories but my favourite was ‘No Man’s Land’. That was very creepy. Imagine seeing a dead soldier rise. You’d absolutely die.
The other stories were ok, and though Bone Monument was good - it stuck in my head because a dreamed of bone monuments.
Overall, a good mix and for the incoming spooky season, it is well timed.
