Some stories don’t flinch. The Rough Stuff is a hard-edged collection of short fiction about men pushed to their limits—where choices carry weight and consequences don’t care who you are. From the mountains of Afghanistan to backroads in Indiana to a quiet cabin in Idaho, Michael Cardwell delivers gripping, unvarnished stories of grit, loyalty, violence, and the quiet codes men live—and die—by. These are not heroes in shining armor. These are men in hard circumstances. If you like your fiction raw, honest, and unforgettable—this book is for you.
