In The Rogue Blood

i love it!! i just love it!!!

a man breaks a bottle of on another man's head, and then gouges out the poor sucker's eye with the sharp end.

a man smashes another man's teeth with a rifle butt.

a man runs a knife over a another man's scalp, then grabs his hair and pulls the scalp clear off the skull.

these are just some instances of the kind of delightfully violent scenes in James Carlos Blake's IN THE ROGUE BLOOD.

two brothers, edward and john, are orphaned in their early teens and set out towards texas to make their fortunes. they make it to new orleans, fighting and struggling, and then they're separated and are tossed on different paths.

eventually, war breaks out between mexico and the US of A, and ultimately the two brothers end up fighting for opposite sides.

the entire novel is a tribute to the concept of dark fiction and violent writing. the book is crammed with bloody and gory fight scenes. it is a violence lover's paradise from the beginning to the end.

and the end, man, i love it. it effectively shows the finger to the concept of happy endings.

u don't read this, u don't know what u r missing.....

man, i still got a high from reading it..........................
