Review: I imagined this as a B&W noirish film, grainy and with some teeth.

"Dead Aware" is a moment in the rocky life of Dunlavey, a mouthy private investigator who lives a reckless life. Drugs, alcohol, women, and a view of the darkness beyond that most can't see. His third eye has been opened by a lover who practices in Voodoo, and it is cursed to remain open by a husband who practices murder of adulterous wives. Dunlavey is haunted, and not just by spirits.As the final piece in my April binge of the works of Terry M. West, "Dead Aware" is the frosting on the cake and a delight to read. It is a wonderful tale told in the form of a screenplay, a sultry and lurid screenplay. Oozing character and atmosphere, harking back to the heyday of 80's horror. Gore, skin, sex, drugs and a broken hero you can root for, "Dead Aware" has it all.*I received a copy in exchange for a review and this is an honest review. I loved this piece.
