Gotta go now and see what else this man has written.Īfter an unfortunate incident, cartoonist Jason Tray goes to his agent's cabin to hide out for a while. I loved Jason’s wit and the whole small town, back woods atmosphere.Īny book that has me holding my kindle in a death grip, while laughing out loud, all by myself in a dark room, gets five full stars from me. Who knew a white knuckle thriller could be so funny. There is also a touching love story that while not the main focus remains central to the story being told. (kindle magic) I quickly turned on a lamp, you know to give the illusion of normalcy, made myself a cuppa and did not look up again until I had turned the last page.īlister is a non stop, action packed, horrific romp that is both gruesome and graphic, not to mention relentless.

It was midafternoon when I started this and when I next looked up I was shocked to see that night had descended and I was sitting alone in a dark room. Once inside, beer in hand, Jason strikes up a conversation with a couple of local guys while shooting pool and after one too many drinks, Louie and Erik convince Jason to go along with them to see their local peek show,” Blister”. On his second night at the cabin Jason gets a little antsy and visits a small local bar. He suggests strongly that Jason take a break and retreat for a little while, offering his lakeside cabin in Georgia as an ideal place to do so. Jason’s publicist/agent is not amused or impressed. Hilarious right, except one of the boys was so scared he fell and broke his arm. The following day when the boys showed up as usual to torment his dog, Jason bursts out of the house covered in fake blood and gore, wielding a faux, but still roaring, chainsaw in one hand and a severed head in the other and proceeds to give chase. Enough, it is clearly time to speak with their parents, but when he fails to get a satisfactory response from one of the boy’s mothers and when the following day Ignatz gets hit by our rock throwing chums, Jason decides to deal with matters in his own way. No such luck, the very next day the school boys are throwing rocks at Ignatz. Jason does not make a big deal of this but when it happens again, he politely asks the boys to stop teasing his dog. He also has a Schnauzer named Ignatz and as our story opens Ignatz is out in the yard being teased by a couple of school kids. Jason Tray is a cartoonist, a fairly successful one. So as not to ruin the reading experience for anyone else, let me just say this. Holy frak! What just happened here? I remember, sometime ago reading a review of this, penned by Dan Schwent (thank you) but I honestly could not recall what the book was about, which is to say that I went into this pretty much blind.
