Weren't Another Other Way to Be
(2023)Outlaw Fiction Inspired by the Songs of Waylon Jennings
(A book in the Gutter Books Rock Anthology series)
An anthology of stories edited by Alec Cizak
As he observed the commercialized and soulless country music scene, Waylon Jennings famously sang, “Where do we take it from here?” He answered that question by leaving Nashville and heading home to Texas, to help create what came to be known as outlaw country.
Today, looking at the crime fiction world, we find ourselves asking the same question. The grittiest, harshest, most disturbing fiction form is being cut off from its roots, sanitized, made “safe.”
In this volume, like Waylon did with the country genre in those bygone days, we’re looking to rock the boat. We asked for stories that aren't contorted to conform to commercial, or political, agendas.
We asked for outlaw fiction.
And we got it.
Genre: Mystery
