4.0

In VAMPIRE GUTS IN NUKE TOWN, author Kevin Strange manages to reinvent the vampire. It is no easy task to reimagine the time honored vampire of literary legend. You can credit this unbelievable feat to the untethered mind of Kevin Strange. He spills so much creativity onto the page I was half surprised the pages didn't stick together.

If you want the traditional vampire you've come to the wrong place. These are mutant vampires, in fact every being in this story is a mutant. The are several kinds of mutant vampires each more bizarre then the next. There are oddly lovable creatures called Pogs which are something between E.T. and that putrid, bloated creature Lisa makes out of Chet's brother in Weird Science (all you young folks look it up, you wont be sorry). Then there is Guts. He is a mutant too but I won't delve into it any further than that.

The story is gripping. Your forced to turn the page just to find out how much more strange it will get not to mention the action that pulls you through. The penultimate scene felt like what would have happened if George Lucas went on a weekend bender and then wrote the Ewok victory scene in Return of the Jedi but weirder. This story is bizarro, it reinvents the vampire and it glows with the creative mind of it's author, Kevin Strange.

Read VAMPIRE GUTS IN NUKE TOWN! Then DEMAND Kevin Strange start selling plush Pogs in the gift shop. And if you love this read everything else this publisher, StrangeHouse Books, puts out because you will love all of it.
