Welcome to Angry Management It's a place for misfits. For stories that will rip out your heart and give you back one better than what you started with. Stories about prejudice, rage, and hope.

In three novellas, Chris Crutcher brings together some of his most unforgettable characters-among them Sarah Byrnes, Angus Bethune, and Montana West-to bare their souls. No sugarcoating here. Just the truth.
