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.
