Welcome to Litsy!

My small collection of books by flametree press. I am obsessed with these books. I love the simple lines of the spine design. I want to collect everything printed by them. I need all the books!

I picked up this book expecting more of a horror story. This reads like a mafia thriller. Not so much horror to me. The first half of the book felt a little slow. The second half was more fast paced and I enjoyed it more. Double crosses abound and characters that were nice turn out to be not so nice after all. No one escapes unscathed. If you like stories about crime families and bad decisions, this will interest you.

This is like a dark, gruesome, Carry On Gangster caper with some truly horrific moments, but also really funny……Frank punching a toaster still makes me laugh out loud every time I think of it…totally insane from start to the slightly poignant ending…..

I loved the over the top characters from Missus Petrosky, Oscar and Vlad to Robbie Pescatelli and the really creepy Cornelius…..oh that‘s just wrong!!

With a cast of hard- to- like-but- you- can-not- ignore characters, this draws you into their word of corruption, crime families and racial/ethnic bigotry. This is an insane horror novel. I enjoyed its fast pace, its crazy premise and its black humor.
If your like your horror story with terrifying grisly scenes, this might be just the one for you.
