Here's a bit from page three
"When I think back on it, it was that touch, as much as anything else, that brought on Johnny Fry's death sentence. My tongue went completely dry, and no matter how much bottled mineral water I drank, I was still thirsty. The thirst, and what I did to slake it were the first two nails in Johnny Fry's coffin."
Okay, that's great stuff. If I writer can do that, I will buy the book, I will turn the page. But I guess erotica is not my thing, I am not interested in reading about stuff like the blood and poop stained strap-on. With such promise on page 3 of the kind of book I like to read, the rest of the book was a disappointment to me in a way his previous books were not.
I think if the book had been called "Sodomizing Johnny Fry" I would have been forewarned. The title "Killing Johnny Fry" made it seem like the kind of book he had written before. There was nothing on the book jacket or overleaf besides the subtitle "a sexistential novel" to indicate this wasn't a noir mystery like those he had written before.
I hope he finds a new audience with this book, but I for one, will think very carefully before I get his next book.
