<<I was shopping for something by Gil Brewer yesterday,
and I came across BACKWOODS TEASER, which sounds like it
might be similar to TOBACCO ROAD, but I doubt that it
is.>>
Some of Brewer's work is less than fabulous*. I don't recall
this particular title, but I would wait until the walking
encyclopedias of Rara-Avis give it the nod. He could get
campy, feverish, even drippy, and some of his plots are even
more ridiculous than Thompson's worst ones
(e.g. The Golden Gizmo). In any case, he's definitely
noir.
The title Backwoods Teaser sounds pretty racy. Actually,
Brewer wrote great sex scenes. He knew how to create sexual
tension. I don't know of any goldmedalist that surpasses him
in this area. Which goes to show that every Gold Medal has
something of value.
[*Be thankful that I didn't say it's a fact...]
Best regards,
