Controlled Burn: Stories of Prison, Crime, and Men

A collection of interlinked short tales about the lives of convicts, informers, and on-the-run criminals includes "Outside Work Detail," in which men dig graves for fellow convicts; "Crank," in which a proselytizing addict brews crystal meth in a backwoods lab; and "Atomic Supernova," in which an obsessed sheriff deputizes a cop killer. 

In Controlled Burn, Scott Wolven presents a gritty collection of short stories that delve into the lives of men caught in the cycles of crime, violence, and prison. With raw authenticity and sharp prose, Wolven portrays the hard edges of America’s underworld while revealing the humanity and struggles within.

A powerful read for fans of hard-hitting short fiction, crime stories, and contemporary American literature.
