Many thanks to the good folks at Literary Garage for posting this behind-the-scenes nterview with me about my short story “The Doctor’s Version,” which is one of 15 stories in the crime fiction collection Bad Intentions: Crime Fiction Inspired by the Music of Warren Zevon. The collection is now available online and from your favorite bookstore. (If they don’t have it in stock, they can order it for you.)
Here’s how Literary Garage describes the story:
Told with chilling wit and razor-sharp irony, ‘The Doctor’s Version’ explores power, manipulation, and the ease with which evil can disguise itself as professionalism. Careaga delivers a compelling crime story in which the most dangerous person in the room isn’t the addict—it’s the man utterly convinced he’s the hero.
More than a crime story, it’s a masterclass in unreliable moral perspective.
I hope you’ll hop on over to Substack to give it a read.
