Please ignore if this new collection has been mentioned on
this list. It certainly should be.
Hardcore Hardboiled, a collection of neo-noir fiction from
Thuglit, a trendsetting ezine edited by Todd Robinson,
has just been published by Kensington Books. The
collection includes stories by Ken Bruen, Victor
Gischler, Duane Swiercynski and others. I am one of the
others.
Otto Penzler says in his introduction, "Mickey
Spillane, the toughest guy anybody knew back in the
dark ages of the 1950s, seems like a weeny of the first
rank compared to the guys - and sweet Jesus, the
dolls- in this collection." He also adds "You have to
look hard to find two consecutive pages that don't deal
with sex and violence, but why would you want
to?"
My story is entitled Juanita. Juanita awakens naked in a pool
of sweat. She staggers out of bed, throws on a
threadbare pink robe, shoves her stubby toes into her
bunny rabbit slippers, and heads downstairs. She
discovers her husband, Albert, lying on the floor with
a gaping hole in his chest. "Shit," she shouts, "somebody
finally got the bastard. Calls for a drink."
The book is available as a quality paperback at local
bookstores and on Amazon. $14.00.
