* DO IT RIGHT * DO IT BIG * GIVE IT CLASS ~*~ WRITERS' RAVES * FOR * READERS' FAVES *
Shine this one up any more and it'll blind ya. Skeezit, you dirty rat, your tale spinning had me grinnin as this here expose done just that, it exposed you for the fine scribe that you is, you is. *absolutely one of your best and , here's lookin at you kid, that's sayin a LOT!
Wow Anthony, that was tip-top top to bottom! Loved all the cool lingo from "tonsil-Paint" to "hen pen" & "pine box parole" and the too many good ones (shape-in-a-drape, Broadway battleshp)in between. You should be very proud of this one!
Dammit, Anthony. This one made me feel like I was wearing a pair of cement shoes. I was so deep in I was gasping for air at the end. Fantastic!
Well done Anthony - love the hard, grittiness of the story, as well as the dead solid perfect descriptions and dialogue. It had the feel of Chandler and/or Dashiell Hammett! Excellent Bijou debut!
Wonderful images and world weary vibe. Now THAT is a torch song.
Thanks everyone for checking it out... It was a fun write.
Ya had me from lacquer-cracker Kid.This town's big enough for da both of us.~ Bogie
Smooth style Mr. Venutolo - the pod cast is fantastic.
Fun read -- love the 'deep six holiday'. Very smooth. I'm having trouble with my computer speaker, but will listen in at work, heh-heh-heh... Peace, Linda
Best damn Noir I've read in a long time, stylin like the classics, you got more talent in your pinky than I do in my whole body. Wow. Wow. Wow.
Anthony, I read this first before listening to the podcast. What a treat that was, in both forms. Agree with Harry about the turns-of-phrase, stunning!!!!
I think you're the only one who can use all those old skool cliches and make them sound original. I think Robert Parker's spirit found a new home. Love the post-story interview.
Ant, this is one of your best. Perfect for the Bijou. I love the rants, cliches and references to the fuzzy hussies. Before this was over MICKEY SPILLANE/alias newspaper man, I was rolling on the floor. Major fun.
