A review by thomaswjoyce
Mojo Rising by Bob Pastorella

5.0

A thrilling weird crime novella written in the authentic voice of someone from Texas who knows the streets, knows the people and how they talk, and knows how to convey it all on the page with honesty and conviction. From the first page I was hooked by the genuine portrayal of a less-than-likeable protagonist who only seemed to sink lower as he was sucked into the nightmare that is the new drug Mojo, but who ultimately sought to do the right thing. Dark, meandering, mysterious (not unlike the songs that were an essential influence), this story is thoroughly entertaining from start to finish.
