Heh, check out the Felix Gomez books by Maria Acevedo, of which The Nymphos of Rocky Flats is but the first. A series about a hard-boiled vampire detective with titles like X-Rated Bloodsuckers and The Undead Kama Sutra?? What more does a growing boy need?

When I read on Tokyo Mango that Beat Takeshi had written a book, it wasn’t very long before I Amazon Prime’d it down to my place, reading it two days later. (Yes, that’s right, I used Amazon Prime as a verb. Believe it.) Now, the Tokyo Mango piece, I think, was a little misleading in [...]
