Review: Grindhouse Fiction
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 06 26, 2012
First question: does the chick on the cover appear in the book? The first story comes closest. The following stories are also packed with various Brock Samson types, Brock Landers types, a blood-splattered disquisition of utter Brocktitude. Blood & Tacos is the Grindhouse of short fiction, recreating 1970s men's adventure fiction when hack writers turned out a cheezy-titled paperback every week under at least four pseudonyms and the target audience was outlaw bikers. The best of this issue is more deranged fun than a Sonny Chiba Vietnam movie on crack. Blood & Tacos is exactly what it says it is and packs a lot of material in its plaid seersucker slacks. Contains graphic violence, adult language, dismemberment, explicit facial hair, kung fu, grossness, bad cinematography.
