ADAM HOWE - OF MOOSE AND MEN (2022)

Synopsis/blurb...

He’s battled biker gangs, neo-Nazis, steroidal wrestlers, Russian spam-bots, an ornery skunk ape, and an oversexed orangutan… now, boxer turned strip club bouncer Reggie Levine is BACK in his FUBAR-iest escapade yet. When a sinister stranger with an uncanny likeness to actor M. Emmett Walsh kidnaps Marlene, the sumo-sized stripper at The Henhouse where he works, Reggie is called back to action, and faced with his greatest challenge.

Author Adam Howe is a bit of a cult. His warped prose the product of a depraved imagination are probably lacking in universal appeal. That said I'm always happy to take a trip on the wild side with him and see where we end up.

Of Moose and Men is a 30-odd page adventure with his wrestler character Reggie Levine. Reggie is working as a bouncer at a strip club when one of the girls goes missing. Reggie's job is to find her.

Violence, humour and more than a touch of graphic grossness accompanies us on our journey.

Like I say not everyone's cup of tea, but there's something in the absurdity of the situations his larger than life characters find themselves in that appeal to my inner adolescent brain.
