Teenage Ellie has always had romantic ideas about drug addicts, those tragic artistic souls drawn to needles and pills have been an obsession since the death of her junkie mother ten years ago. But when Ellie lands in an upscale rehab clinic where nothing is what it appears to be... she'll find another more dangerous romance, and find out how easily drugs and murder go hand-in-hand.

Praise for My Heroes Have Always Been Junkies
"Readers of postmodern pulp will enjoy this intense story and unapologetically cunning character." ?Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Close readers of the creator's oeuvre will catch connections to their earlier series, Criminal, but this one still provides plenty of truly twisted twists and wraps up with a pulpy punch of an ending that's satisfying—and heartbreaking—on its own... this stand-alone novella is a fine addition to a staggering body of work." —Library Journal, starred review
