Imagine a parallel universe wherein Davis Grubb and Andrew Vaches had written a chase film for Sam Peckinpah, and you may have some idea of the surprising scope and depth of this short but damned impressive novel; suspenseful, violent, lean, poetic, and even thoughtful, The Licking Valley Coon Hunters Club is a return to what originally made the thriller great, before brutality and shock were mistaken for action and suspense... |

This is a very entertaining book. It has everything a P.I. book should... a hard-boiled but chivalrous P.I., lovely ladies in distress, quirky villains who repeatedly beat the hero to a pulp, and a plot that cracks along at the speed of a bullet. PLUS vampires and a science-fiction twist. Who could ask for anything more? |

This one's a fictive breeder's field day. Forget Luther Burbank. Imagine Joe R. Lansdale's city cuz crossbred with one of Andrew Vacchs' surlier rural relatives, but with a whole lot of genetic material from the real author, Brian Hopkins. Now there's an experiment in literary biotechnology. Oh, yeah, and the vampires are just lagniappe. |
