All right, at Salome's request, and for everyone else's entertainment, or misery...more about Crooked Little Vein
(verbally, usually not that great at describing stuff I like, but usually better in writing/typing)
It's a noir/detective/road story with things like Godzilla bukkake and injection of saline into genitalia..heh
That's just a couple of the strange/disturbing/usually hilarious things/people "burned out private detective and self-styled shit magnet Michael McGill" meets and experiences on his cross country journey to find the secret constitution of the United States. He's hired by an unsettling, heroin addicted Chief of Staff who intends to use the supposedly magical properties of the document "to drive the country back to a time when civility, God, and mom's homemade apple pie were all that mattered."
Mike doesn't quite buy into any of it at first, but he could use the job and the shitload of money, and..probably takes on the search for other reasons I don't remember at the moment..So, he starts tracking the book down.
Along the way, he's joined by the super-hot Trixie (she'd be at home here on SG, actually. In attitude, look, and all that).
Mike's on true skill seems to be his bad luck, his ability to stumble "upon every depraved situation imaginable" and he and Trixie run into plenty.
Seriously, the book was great for seeing what they'll run into next, and the characters do have a great life to them and a good majority of the book had me laughing out loud..but then again, I have a dark sense of humor sometimes.
The book also has a point or two to make, some observations about life in America, about what's mainstream these days and what isn't..or if there even is an underground anymore.
Though, really, I don't know what Warren Ellis was typing into Google to find some of this stuff
Oh, any quotes above were from the inside of the book jacket.
So there you go. It's hilarious, it's a blast, and it's a pretty fast read.
Aand..I think that's it
