Book excerpt: THE VIC VALENTINE CLASSIC CASE FILES collects for the first time in a single definitive edition the four novels between Love Stories Are Too Violent For Me and Hard-boiled Heart, all written in the mid-1990s, published by the author himself in 2011, and now available in this official anthology: Fate Is My Pimp, Romance Takes a Rain Check, I Lost My Heart in Hollywood, and Diary of a Dick, plus a new short story, Brain Mistrust. From an Elvis-themed sex cult involving a missing Mob brat, to a sordid rendezvous with a homicidal high school sweetheart, to a real live B movie road trip, to a series of lusty liaisons with the wild women of the detective's promiscuous past, there are no experiences or encounters like these anywhere in genre fiction, all related to the reader in our hapless hero's intrepid, introspective, shamelessly self-centered voice. Welcome to the wild, wondrous, wacky and woeful world of Vic Valentine, Private Eye.

Welcome to the wild, wondrous, wacky and woeful world of Vic Valentine, Private Eye. Praise for the Vic Valentine series: "Valentine, with his bottom-feeding clientele and penchant for exploring the underworld's weirdest fringes, is like a West Coast cousin to the late, great Charles Willeford's serial detective Hoke Mosely (Miami Blues). As always, Viharo's pulp fiction prose rockets the reader through Valentine's adventures and as the pages turn, the author's encyclopedic knowledge and adoration of pop culture's kitschiest corners elicits gut-bursts of laughter." -Pete Crooks, author of The Setup: A True Story of Dirty Cops, Soccer Moms, and Reality TV "Will Viharo writes not just neo-noir but neon noir, his Vic Valentine novels brilliant paeans to Chandler, Hammett, and other aspects of pop culture that Viharo clearly loves, from old B-movies to Frank Sinatra. But his roots are only a backdrop for Viharo's modernization of the detective genre. Vic Valentine is a detective who falls hard for his dreams, knowing full well that he shouldn't. For Valentine it seems that the greatest defeat would be to give in to the idea that he cannot win. In Will Viharo's fast paced, witty and wise Vic Valentine novels, there is always hope, however hardboiled it may be."-Rob Pierce, author of Uncle Dust and The Things I Love Will Kill Me Yet

Book excerpt: Escape. Lust. Revenge. Rob Pierce writes with an understanding of the darkness in the hearts of people who've been struck and need to strike back. From gun dealers to murderers to the simply self-destructive, The Things I Love Will Kill Me Yet is filled with stories of men and women whose dreams can never take them out of their realities."Rob Pierce isn't scared to ask the hard questions. Instead he throws them out like loose change, sits back and watches the masses scuffle, as he enjoys another beer on your dime. Like your weird, creepy uncle who gets soused every Thanksgiving, he's offensive and makes your politically correct girlfriend cringe, but, damn if he doesn't speak the truth." -- Joe Clifford, Lamentation and December Boys"In Rob Pierce's brilliant collection of stories, The Things I Love Will Kill Me Yet, we witness a parade of losers who seem to float through the swimming pool of life without ever having mastered the skill of swimming and keep exhibiting surprise when they end up in the deep end and learn the lifeguard is on his break." -- Les Edgerton, The Rapist, The Bitch, The Genuine Imitation Plastic Kidnapping "Rob Pierce writes about low-class losers, despondent desperadoes, alcoholic angst, and blue collar blues with such authentic empathy that one assumes he is writing from his own experience." -- Will Viharo, author of The Thrillville Pulp Fiction Collection and The Vic Valentine Classic Case Files"Hard drinking, hard hitting and hard luck. Rob Pierce comes out swinging in this impressive collection filled with desperate people making bad decisions for all the wrong reasons. Every one of these stories lands like a punch to the gut." -- S.W. Lauden, Bad Citizen Corporation
