I kept hearing people say, "well, if you don't like the way things are, change them."
This book is a response to that. When you try to change a system, that system will bare its teeth.
NEIGHBORHOOD OF DEAD ENDS by @McCaffery_write, a novel of oppression, corruption, inequality, and exactly how high the deck is stacked against those who desire change is available NOW:

I have a lot of new followers on here thanks to my inclusion in Best American Mystery 2024, which is great, but I'm not really on here anymore because it's a shithole.
If you'd like to follow my writing and thoughts, follow me on threads: threads.net/@stantonmccaffer…
An amazing collection.

Thrilled to learn that my short story "Most Likely to Succeed" made the Distinguished List in BEST AMERICAN MYSTERY & SUSPENSE STORIES 2024! You can read it in the ONE PERCENT anthology from Rock and a Hard Place. amazon.com/One-Percent-Tales…

Happy PUB DAY to the incomparable @nkolakowski on the re-release of Rattlesnake Rodeo under the RHP banner! a.co/d/j1axx4A
I hate this platform, but some cool people are still here. If you're coming to Bouchercon in two weeks, check out this great panel I'll be on. We'll talk creating characters from different walks of life and building community through fiction.
I think I am increasingly not going to be on this site because it's mostly full of shit. You can find me on threads: threads.net/@stantonmccaffer…

To our Patreon subscribers, our latest panel, "Mental Illness, Paranoia, Obsession, and Noir" is now available on the Rock and a Hard Place Patreon!

Not just a video of me being a weirdo, but a discussion with some of our editorial team about issue 11.
Q: What’s better than an RHP Ed Board panel convo on their latest publication, Issue 11?
A: Getting your own copy of Issue 11!
If you still need convincing, check out the full dialogue at youtu.be/Mrjo9BauRqg and head to a.co/d/bTdtmPQ to order yours today!
It's summertime, you should take the day off and read one of these books.
It's #fridayreads, and, if you're a reader, we have so much to choose from.
What are you reading today? Issue 11 of Rock and a Hard Place magazine, or @nkolakowski's incredible Boise Long-Pig Hunting club?
Let us know below!
So good
Happy birthday @colin_ism. Just finished Ride Along in @RHP_Press Issue 11. Gritty, nasty story of the broken people, some of them with enough want left in them to still look forward. Rock and a Hard Place, Issue 11: Summer 2024 a.co/d/6ZVWaOo
I will be strange, as always. Come say hello!
Really excited to be partnering with our friends at @RHP_Press to do this. If you're gonna be in Nashville, come hang out with us.
Thanks Casey! One of many awesome stories!

This is in the new @RHP_Press and it is the greatest thing I've ever written. If it is not included in the next Best American Mystery and Suspense I will riot. Add a related gif if you get the joke!
