Asghar Khan wondered whether it was necessary to revisit the circumstances; does a doctor open the incision to check if the surgery has healed? “The court has been convinced that there was no motive behind this dastardly act but to kill innocent people and create terror.” The night came alive for Asghar and even today it seemed as unreal as it had seven years ago. “Justice” by Riaz Mulla (originally published in Mumbai Noir) is today’s featured short story on Akashic’s website.

beaveggies365: I was at Politics and Prose last night for the launch of Hard Art, D.C. 1979, a collection of Lucian Perkins’ photos of the emerging D.C. punk scene in 1979. Alec MacKaye, Lucian Perkins, and Henry Rollins were there to talk about the book. Henry Rollins: “One of the great things about punk rock - it didn’t judge.” Link to the book, which was funded through Kickstarter (and which I’m proud to have contributed to!): http://www.akashicbooks.com/catalog/hard-art-dc-1979/

The wipers groaned as the snow fell wet and heavy, slushballs exploding on the windshield like multiple exit wounds. The day couldn’t be more perfect. Hunched over the wheel, Michael squinted through the chaos to see the road ahead, adjusting his course to follow the trenches dug by larger vehicles. He would finally see his father. His father would finally see him. “Plowed” by Stephen D. Rogers is today’s all-new short noir story for Akashic’s Mondays Are Murder feature. Read the full story here.
