Jimmy Pudge has made his reputation by writing fast paced, trashy, violent horror tales. His work will never be mistaken for great literature, but if you'd like to have a fun, exciting time reading a freaked out adventure the likes of which you'll not find anywhere else, then you can't do better than Jimmy Pudge.His latest work, Kitty's Revenge, doesn't let up, and it won't let you down. It all starts innocently enough, with the story of two young lovers in small town South. For a while I though Mr. Pudge had turned to writing romance novels. But of course, that didn't last long, and Kitty finds herself walking the streets to survive. Things take a turn for the worse and then worse, and worse still. Poor Kitty resembles a modern day Justine, being propelled from one degradation to the next. Kitty has one difference from deSade's titular character though, as you might guess from the title. Kitty gets revenge.Once this book gets going, it never lets up. It rushes forward at breakneck speed, violent, trashy, hilarious and grotesque, mixing strip clubs, zombies, bird women, and believe it or not, a parody of The Great Gatsby in a way that no one but Jimmy Pudge could do. Seriously- you can't describe or explain a Jimmy Pudge book to anyone. You just have to experience them. And amidst all the craziness, Mr. Pudge even drops a few observations about life into the mix.As I say every time I review a Jimmy Pudge book, if you're easily offended, do yourself a favor and skip it. But, if you like reading work that pushes the boundries with humor and a no holds barred approach, step up and get this. You're in for a thrilling ride.
