A certain Scott Fulks just posted the very first readers review on the Lulu MERMAID page: "Just finished reading "A Mermaid Drowns in the Midnight Lounge". No spoilers in this review; this thing is all about mood and style just as the work itself. It took me two days to finish the book because I just couldn't bring myself to read it in daylight. It's a sort of pulp film noir for the video generation, all fast cuts and plenty of lurid action on every page. Reading it felt like taking a drive to the corner store at night in the rain making all left turns and ending up parked in front of an opium den in Morocco. Sorry, no Haagen Daz here! I strongly advise having a bottle of booze and a dirty glass handy while reading this... not so much to drink, but to bring the mood of the story into your space." As the author, I must concur. This book is definitely hallucinatory, alcoholic-sanctioned material. Basically a "review" like that will either seduce or repel the prospective reader, depending on one's tastes in literature. It is intentionally a "pulp film noir for the video generation." If you like SIN CITY, you'll like this book, I think. And though you have to order it separately, I highly recommend the companion "soundtrack" MUSIC FOR A DROWNING MERMAID, it'll definitely put you in the required "Morocco opium den" sorta mood. Print book, ebook and CD all available here http://stores.lulu.com/willviharo Cheers. ps I'll post when MERMAID is available via Amazon.com, Barnes&Noble.com and ordering via your local bookseller (in a month or so, once the ISBN# has gone through the wholesaler's system), though when it's sold via retail outlets, my cut per book is reduced to .86 cents!
