What if Elmore Leonard's stock characters were animals? This book is what.
Hit Me with your Horror
Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)
Is this really a book? Elmore Leonard wrote anthropomorphics at some point?
ReplyDeleteIt's real. Just this one book. A coyote hustler and a retired dog actor are the main characters. Takes place in the Hollywood Hills.
ReplyDeleteThe dog and coyote decide to switch lives.
Is it...gritty and snappy? I can't stop thinking of Christopher Moore when I look at this cover and premise.
ReplyDeleteI would pay kind of a lot of money to watch Justified with talking animals.
That's pretty much what it is. Less violence, but his story structure and dialogue are pretty much the same. His prose is so straight forward and simple that I don't even think he really changed his vocabulary.
ReplyDeleteOkay, after starting to read it last night, he really didn't change his vocabulary much. Two instances of "bitch," but of course in reference to actual female coyotes and dogs, and not insults. This led to a good conversation about swear words, what they mean and why.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking through how to have that conversation myself.
