Customer Reviews

Weirdness IS an art form

Mary Woronov has proven countlessly in film that she is a little off center. Her strange and intriging roles have made her a classic cult actress & even an icon. This, her 3rd novel interestingly mirrors the strangeness of her movies onto print. It's the story of a mixed up girl on a journey that's both terrifying and exciting. She tries to flirt with romance but her focus of interest could be a killer that may make her the next victim. Each chapter is titled with a snake theme as is the overall plot twists and turns much like a seemingly harmless snake would turn. Roll up under a blanket and enjoy a little piece of derainged fiction.

CAN A SCHIZOPHRENIC KEEP A STORY IN FOCUS?

AND THE ANSWER IS YES. I wrote the Kirkus Review under Editorial Reviews and would direct you there for my comments on this noir knockout.

BUY THIS BOOK!

This novel is a hilarious romp through the seedy sides of Los Angeles and Las Vegas, until it becomes a love story, and then it's both a dark comedy and a poignant look at impossible relationships and the lengths people go to find intimacy. It's great.
