Rough Justice is a collection of 43 short stories by horror and dark fantasy author Steve Rasnic Tem, published in 2023. The tales in this nearly 500-page book are described as Kafkaesque crime fiction, exploring themes of crime, deception, obsession, and flawed characters. 

Synopsis and themes

The stories in Rough Justice range from mundane crime to nightmarish situations that embody a sense of nihilism. The collection features a cast of disturbing characters, including obsessives, connivers, and scoundrels. Some specific tales highlighted in synopses include: 

"Love Letters": A man travels across the country to recover his ex's old love notes, only to be pulled further away from reality and a sense of closure.

"Daddy's an Actor" and "My Daughter is Here": Two stories that explore father-daughter relationships, one centering on acting and the other on end-of-life care, that are both mal-adjusted and unsettling.

"The Stench": The story of a man tormented by foul odors from ordinary people and things, which he tries to avoid.
