The Dark End of the Street: New Stories of Sex and Crime by Today's Top Authors (29 page)

A NOTE ON THE ILLUSTRATIONS

All of the drawings have been created with black India ink and silver pigment built up in thin washes and made specifically for this anthology. Some are based on film noir, others invented. None were made to illustrate specific stories, but rather to echo the mood and tone of the collection.
