NEW REVIEW: Sixty-Five Stirrup Iron Road (2013)

Today’s in-depth dissection is of the co-authored extreme horror novel ‘Sixty-Five Stirrup Iron Road’ (2013) – an outrageously over-the-top story of deviancy, depravity and splattericious gore. This example of (ahem) literacy excellence was penned by none other than Brian Keene, Jack Ketchum, Edward Lee, J.F. Gonzalez, Bryan Smith, Wrath James White, Nate Southard, Ryan Harding, and Shane McKenzie.

Enjoy!

Keene: its a no holds barred war to the death between cowboys and bigfoots Keene: cowboys, of course, have the advantage of intelligence and speed, as well as firearms Keene: but the bigfoots have the numbers

Keene: these bigfoots might just tear these cowboys to pieces Bram Stoker: oh but cowboys! Keene: whats the matter bram? you kill your cowboys all the time! Stoker: yeah but Stoker: i dunno, its different

King: how big are the bigfoots? Keene: eh pretty normal bigfoot sized, i'd say King: really? i expected they'd be bigger King: what about their feet? Keene: oh well, yeah, their feet are big Keene: like duh Keene: obviously

King: wait are their feet big compared to normal feet or big compared to bigfoot feet? Keene: normal King: so big compared to our feet? Keene: yes i Keene: you know the feet aren't really central to this story

Keene: ok so back to the story King: wait a second is it bigfoots or bigfeet? Poe: obviously, it's bigfoots Barker: what? that's insane edgar. it's obviously bigfeet King: no no i think edgar's right on this one Lovecraft: that doesn't make any sense Keene: so back to the story

Book Review: Island of the Dead

Brian Keene knows a few things about zombies, and this novel didn’t disappoint. It’s like if Robert E. Howard had a George Romero movie marathon and decided to drop Conan the Cimmerian on an island filled with hordes of giant insects and ravenous undead. It’s a quick and fun sword-and-sorcery adventure.

The main character, Einar, is a badass straight out of the pulps. He's strong and grim, but with just enough humor to keep him from being a Terminator.

I wish the book had been longer because I want more time in this world. Thankfully, he seems to be planning a sequel.

As a bonus, it will annoy a certain breed of asshole who likes to complain about “woke” this and “woke” that in storytelling. Really? You can handle the idea of reanimated corpses feasting on the living but queer representation hurts your brain?
