The ideas and inspiration for these stories are as many and as varied as each of the individual tales. They do not contain standard stories of theft, greed and wrongdoings, as one might expect. Far from it. Tales of Crimes & Violence looks deeper into the human psyche, the mind and spirits of those involved. Although all the tales in these books are about committing crime, or being involved in acts of violence, the real story being told is one of the people involved; why and how they came to be in this position. Are they willing participants, or victims themselves? The innocent caught in the crossfire, or is there more to their presence than meets the eye? All the stories in Tales Crime & Violence have underlying factors, deeper meanings, twists and stings to savour and enjoy. [more]

Crime and Punishment is a novel by the Russian author Dostoyevsky. Crime and Punishment focuses on the mental anguish and moral dilemmas of Rodion Raskolnikov, an impoverished ex-student in St. Petersburg who formulates and executes a plan to kill an unscrupulous pawnbroker for her cash. Raskolnikov argues that with the pawnbroker's money he can perform good deeds to counterbalance the crime, while ridding the world of a worthless vermin. He also commits this murder to test his own hypothesis that some people are naturally capable of such things, and even have the right to do them. Several times throughout the novel, Raskolnikov justifies his actions by comparing himself with Napoleon Bonaparte, believing that murder is permissible in pursuit of a higher purpose. [more]

Tales of Crime & Violence are a collection of three books of my short, and not so short stories. The ideas and inspiration are many and as varied as each of the individual tales themselves. Although all the stories in these books are about committing crime, or being involved in acts of violence, the real story is of the people involved, why and how they came to be in this position, whether they were forced or coerced, willing participants or victims themselves. Are they committing the crime, or are they simply the victims... sometimes it is not so easy to tell. [more]
