About

The Baltimore Atrocities is a mordant, deadpan collection of more than one hundred murders, betrayals, heartbreaks, suicides, and bureaucratic snafus--each with a half-page illustration by the author--that tells the story of a couple who spends a year in Baltimore in search of their respective siblings, who were abducted decades earlier as young children.

Reviews

"Bear attacks, dissections, suicides--you're far safer in an episode of The Wire than in the twisted (and illustrated) world of this deadpan missing-persons noir."
O Magazine
"We leave 'The Baltimore Atrocities' reeling from its medley of antic happenings and feeling more perplexed than when we went in, but also relieved that there are writers like Woods who are boldly picking up where past masters left off."
Star Tribune
"The book feels like a philosophical reflection on various types of loss. As a result, it subverts expectations for what is ostensibly a mystery."
Baltimore Magazine
