Da fawk did I just read? No, seriously, a midget porn-star who's hung like a horse but also in need of a monumental shot of Viagra; a dog whose arse looks exactly like... never mind, I'm not going to tell, as I might spoil the whole thing; a mechanic getting robbed and asking for help to the wrongest of all peeps. Oh, and carnies. Funny bizarro shit, plus an amazing hard-boiled story. Good stuff. Really good stuff.

Black Cat Mojo is a book made up of short/novella stories.
You can't help but be really intrigued as, as book descriptions goes this one sounds bonkers!
My favourite story had to be OF BADGERS & PORN DWARFS which is the one that I was most worried about reading. I really didn't know whether I was going to like this book or not. It certainly won't be everyone's cup of tea but I was actually surprised how much overall I enjoyed it.
OF BADGERS & PORN DWARFS the main character Rummy Rumsfeld I found I actually quite liked, or maybe it was more that I felt quite sorry for him. Having made it to the height of porn stardom, he suddenly finds himself broke and in debt and here on in he finds himself in one disaster after another. Some parts of the story were quite disturbing but strangely enough I found them quite humorous. I think anyone who has quite a dark and twisted sense of humour is going to love this book.
FRANK, THE SNAKE, & THE SNAKE is another story which was enjoyable and totally reminds me of why I hate snakes.
Expect to find some very weird scenarios and even stranger characters throughout this book. It isn't going to be a book for everyone and certainly not advisable for any young readers but for anyone who likes to be more daring and try something totally out there I can highly recommend Black Cat Mojo.
Many thanks to the author for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Adam Howe is a revelation.
His style is a mixture of two of my favorite authors, unfortunately no longer living, Donald Westlake and Richard Stark (I know that are the same writer ;) ).
The 4 stories are quite tough but mitigated by a tongue-in-cheek writing that goes on the same page from a thrill to a laugh.
OF BADGERS PORN DWARFS is one of the best things read lately; based on a true story, later revealed to be false, dwarf porn star Rummy Rumsfeld (of Snow White spoof Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, It's Up Your Ass We Go) is a character that you won't easily forget.
