ADAM HOWE - OF MOOSE AND MEN (2022)

 


Synopsis/blurb...

He’s battled biker gangs, neo-Nazis, steroidal wrestlers, Russian spam-bots, an ornery skunk ape, and an oversexed orangutan… now, boxer turned strip club bouncer Reggie Levine is BACK in his FUBAR-iest escapade yet. When a sinister stranger with an uncanny likeness to actor M. Emmett Walsh kidnaps Marlene, the sumo-sized stripper at The Henhouse where he works, Reggie is called back to action, and faced with his greatest challenge.

Author Adam Howe is a bit of a cult. His warped prose the product of a depraved imagination are probably lacking in universal appeal. That said I'm always happy to take a trip on the wild side with him and see where we end up.

Of Moose and Men is a 30-odd page adventure with his wrestler character Reggie Levine. Reggie is working as a bouncer at a strip club when one of the girls goes missing. Reggie's job is to find her.

Violence, humour and more than a touch of graphic grossness accompanies us on our journey.
Like I say not everyone's cup of tea, but there's something in the absurdity of the situations his larger than life characters find themselves in that appeal to my inner adolescent brain.

4 from 5

Gator Bait (2015) and One Tough Bastard (2021) have been enjoyed before from Adam Howe. There's more to get to on the pile.

  1. It sounds as though there's some wit in this, which I always appreciate, Col. But I think you're right that this isn't everyone's cuppa; if I'm being honest, it's not mine. Still, I can see how Reggie could be an appealing character.

    1. Margot, yes definitely one for me as opposed to one for everyone. I think the author isn't necessarily concerned with mass appeal which gives him the freedom to have some fun with his writing.
