Several years ago I read I LOVE MY SMITH AND WESSON, the
second book in the
Rawhead series.
I loved it. Pretty much non-stop violence that
seems, upon reflection, over the top but made perfect sense
at the time. A compelling story, the details of which I have
forgotten. Lots of great one-liners and humor
throughout.
You should have a good time with the first
one.

Today I picked up a book called Rawhead by David Bowker
(there was a second Rawhead book there, too). Its subtitle, A
Gothic Gangster Story, almost scared me off. The jacket copy
describes a story of a writer who pisses off a gangster whose
autobiography he's ghosting. The gangster hires a hitman, but
it turns out he's an old school friend of the writer's and
decides to protect him instead. Unfortunately, a psychotic
hitman may not be the best friend to have. The excerpted
reviews make it sound like twisted fun, but I could see it
going either way.
Has anyone read this? Is it any good?
