Get Out As Early As You Can by Barry Graham, 3rd in his Scottish Urban Gothic literary fiction series, originally out from Bloomsbury in 1992.
In this searing collection of stories, people try in various ways to escape the violence and depravity of urban Scotland.
A brutalized child rescues his sister in the only way he can imagine. An alienated, drug-addicted boxer fights to live and then lives to fight. A family man slashes faces for money. Lovers, killers, the desperate and the mad search for meaning, or someone to hold, or something to eat, in some of the meanest streets ever rendered in fiction.
Graham also offers some other KDP freebies today (mostly supernatural/horror-oriented):

Where Lightning Strikes: Poems on the Holocaust by Alexandria Constantinova Szeman. Szeman has been previously published by HarperCollins under the penname "Sherri Szeman", and one of her fiction novels has been discussed academically in various journals (we got it
free a couple of years ago, which is how I happen to remember this). She lists a bunch of poetry/literature prizes in her blurb as well.
The poems in this collection revisit the classic themes that have inspired poets for generations: love, passion, betrayal, doubt, loyalty, despair, faith, and survival — this time in the context of the period before, during, and after the Holocaust with its systematic persecution and extermination of the majority of European Jewry by the Nazi regime.
Szeman also offers some more KDP freebies today, another poetry collection and some kind of thriller:
