passtheamyl 's review for:
Murder in Greasepaint
by Whiskey Leavins, Whiskey Leavins
Whiskey Leavins lurched out of the neon-hazy 3am fog of another breakneck bar crawl with 2021's 'Devil's Own Piss', a ribald collection of shorts showcasing the writer's down and dirty wit, wisdom and considerable yarn-spinning prowess.
Leavins, who bit the bullet and decided to self-publish during the onset of a certain pandemic, returns this month with Murder In Grease Paint, a raunchy clown-noir that's equal parts Carver and Coen Brothers.
Leavins' bar fly repartee sparkles, his plot cracks along with verve, and I have almost made it to the end of this review while completely resisting the urge to drop a clown pun.
One thing we rarely acknowledge, especially when it comes to indie publications, is production design. Hats off to Whiskey, whose works are gorgeously illustrated, typographically considered and rock considerable levels of polish.
That shit matters, man.
Pour a stiff one, drop the needle on some Mancini and crack a Leavins – you won't regret it.
Slainte!
