Title: Dead Clown Barbecue
Author: Jeff Strand
Started Reading: 2020-08-22
Finished Reading: 2020-11-01
This is book full of short stories that remind me a lot of J Plummer's Notebook. They're short. They're funny (most of the time). They're gory. They're politically-incorrect.
That being said, they're not amazing, but that fact is offset nicely by the fact that they are short. I can usually read an entire story while the girls are brushing their teeth at night before bed.
I was planning on writing up a sentence or two about each but there are 29 stories. Nope.
Note: This got sort of painful by the end. Some of these stories were just silly. I get the writing style and appreciate the in-your-face, pragmatic narrative style, but I found myself reading a story every few day more out the sense of duty, wanting to finish the book, rather than wondering what was going to come next or if the next story was going to be good.
But I did read the whole thing.
