Simply put: this novelette kicks ass. A twisted homage to the work of director Quentin Tarantino, the story introduces "The Man With No Balls" and his quest for revenge after his big break turns into a life-altering nightmare. Fans of James Newman (and Quentin Tarantino, for that matter) will find a lot to love here.
To keep with the Tarantino vibe, we decided it would be cool to base each of the pieces of art off on his film's movie posters or DVD box art.

Always happy to read more Newman. I recall (vaguely) my drunken praise to James for Midnight Rain at WHC 05.

NO offense to anyone else, but I'm a James Newman fanatic--ask him, I'm practically cyber stalking him--and this is my most highly anticipated of the new chapbook series. When can I pre-order this one, Tom?

Sweeeeeet. This is the first time I've seen the "JACKIE BROWN" one.
Very, very cool, Morans.
And Mark . . . I've said it before and I'll say it again: You're too kind.

Oh, and the artwork is phe-fucking-nominal! I am a big Tarantino fan. My favorite is probably the Death Proof-inspired artwork.

Of course like everyone else I'm a big Tarantino fan, but how can anyone resist this book by JN?
Sounds very good.

I know the ARCs are done (mine arrived several weeks ago) and the last I heard from Don about this was that discussions were happening for an order with the printer. Hopefully that should mean things are getting close (though I haven't seen the laid out version, so not sure where that is at). In the mean time, we can be excited about Revenge Flick! |
