God is a Bullet. by Boston Teran - 2000.

London, UK Macmillan: Pan Books, 2000. Mass Market Paperback First Ed thus, later printing. Very Near Fine in Wraps: shows only the most minute indications of use: just a hint of wear to the upper corner tips and barely discernible nicks a the top and bottom of the front hinge; the pages have tanned very slightly, due to aging; else flawless. Binding square and secure; text clean. Very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 12mo. 306pp. Winner of the CWA John Creasey Dagger For Best First Crime Novel. Mass Market Paperback. I cannot praise this book highly enough. It is written third-person present tense, like a screenplay and it ROCKS. I am a lover both both crime noir and horror fiction, and although there are no specificly supernatural elements here they are certainly hinted at (the left hand path, a fascination with death, the snake that eats its tail). Boston Teran is a genius. His writing makes your eye stumble at times because it borders on poetry but he is just amazing. I have read all three of his books now and they all are great but this is the best. As I said it is not marketed as horror, but certainly borders on it and has the same anger and drive as Harry Shannons "Night of the Beast" without being specific to the horror genre at all. don't miss this one.
