Review: 12 GAUGE: SONGS FROM A STREET SWEEPER by Dustin LaValley

Three novellas of extreme Gore and gritty Noir populate this collection. "Spinner" is a matter-of-fact narrative of a psychotic escaped inmate, his equally disturbing girlfriend, and their rampage while trying to escape to Canada. "H/armed" is splatterpunk run wild, killing set to music (by the author). I was reminded of Bryan Smith's THE KILLING KIND. "The Deceived" twists the home invasion tale--and twists it, and twists it, and twists it--into a shocking and explosive ending.
