Reviews

MORE ADVANCE PRAISE FOR VINNIE'S HEAD:

"Marc Lecard is a fresh literary dose of laughing gas. His breezy style and wicked wit bring alive a hilarious world of conmen, hitmen, and luckless losers, not the least of which is petty car thief and porno writer Johnnie LoDuco. Johnnie is just the type to go fishing for flounder and reel in his best friend's severed noggin. Vinnie's Head does for Long Island what Carl Hiaasen has done for Florida. It's a madcap thrill ride from start to finish." --David Ferrell, author of Screwball


What a setup--this book had me hooked on page one! The twists just kept coming...and growing more twisted every time. VINNIE'S HEAD totally screwed with mine! It's The Sopranos on acid, Elmore Leonard on crack, Pulp Fiction on poppers, Carl Hiaasen on magic mushrooms chased down with a fifth of tequila. After reading it, I had to check into rehab!" --Steve Hockensmith, author of Holmes on the Range


"Alfredo Garcia has nothing on Vinnie McCloskey-Schmidt. But the head we need concern ourselves with sits atop Marc Lecard's neck--it teems with gruesome and unsettling things which he is able, like a literary Chas Addams, to spill constructively onto the page." -- Scott Phillips, author of The Ice Harvest
