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 Juanita by Tim Wohlforth.
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.”
“If you’re man enough,” Otto Penzler says in his
introduction, “you’ll love this book. If you’re
not, give it to your girlfriend. If she accepts
it and enjoys it, never turn your back on her.”
The book is available as a quality paperback at
local bookstores and on Amazon for $14.00. |
