THE BASTARD:
Big Butt Bessie gives birth to her bastard son on a hot August day in her carny tent. She curses through her labor, and she would kill the baby if given the chance. An old black woman adopts the boy. The bastard knows that his mother is a prostitute, but he doesn't know who his father is, and he doesn't care. No one knows, not even his mother. So the bastard takes love where he can find it-at the carnival, the mill, the jail-and he kills when he feels like it.
POOR FOOL:
Down-and-out boxer Blondy Niles lives in a nighttime world of call girls and con men. When Salty Banks asks Blondy to rig a match, his downfall begins. Befriended by a good-hearted prostitute, Blondy comes under the spell of her gruesome madam, Mrs. Boxx, and he finds himself working for the other business of the house, a horrific abortion mill. Psychologically trapped, Blondy finds himself unable to leave ... until he meets Mrs. Boxx's daughter, Dorothy.
