L.A. Tales is a 2004 collection of 12 short works by American crime fiction writer James Ellroy.[1] Eight of the pieces are non-fiction crime reportage or essays that Ellroy originally wrote for GQ magazine, some of which are autobiographical (see also his memoir My Dark Places).[2] Also included are three new novellas ("Hollywood Fuck Pad," "Hot-Prowl Rape-O," and "Jungle Jihad") and one short story previously published in GQ ("The Trouble I Cause"). Earlier GQ pieces by Ellroy can be found in the 1999 collection Crime Wave.[3]
