Killer Year update -- "Vinnie's Head"

I read my fourth Killer Year book and didn't even know it! (Okay, technically it's only my third, since C.J. Lyons had to drop out of the group. But still.)

I devoured Marc Lecard's superb, twisted, hilarious, gruesome, wonderful, outrageous novel Vinnie's Head last weekend, only to discover afterwards that he's part of the Killer Year group. (I guess I should pay attention to who's actually in this group, since I said I'd read all their books.)

I started Vinnie's Head on Saturday afternoon and couldn't put it down until I finished it on Sunday morning. (I guess that's what most people are talking about when they say "I read it in one sitting!" Either that, or they're just lying.)

The book isn't being published until March -- I know, that's a lonnnngggg 'ways off -- but make a note of it now. If you're the least bit sick and twisted -- or just like to read about people who are -- you'll love this book.

Sick and twisted?

I'm sold!

Thanks for the heads up. (Sorry, I couldn't resist.)

Sounds like a fabulous read!

No, honestly. One siting literally means one sitting. I sit for four hours and finish a book. Although, I'd probably retain more if I read slower!

Don't you have to pee or anything?

Wait a minute... Don't answer that. I don't want to know. :)

Agreed, David. I was lucky enough to get my hands on an early copy of VINNIE'S HEAD, and it's fantastic. But you know me. I'm a sucker for decapitated heads.

Wait a minute... there's a head in The Blonde, too, isn't there!

I'm starting to detect a pattern...
