About This Book

The Thrillville Pulp Fiction Collection is a series of "double features" reprinting the best work of underground literary legend Will Viharo in definitive editions.

Volume One: A Mermaid Drowns in the Midnight Lounge and Freaks That Carry Your Luggage Up to the Room is the literary equivalent of a classic "grindhouse" bill: twin erotic fever dreams exploding with malevolent monsters, sexy sirens, gruesome gangsters, zeitgeist zombies, dreamy decadence, hipster hedonism, voluptuous violence, nightmarish nihilism, sensuous surrealism, pop culture potpourri, and much, much more. They are like nothing you've ever experienced.

Praise for A Mermaid Drowns in the Midnight Lounge:

"...turning into a lizard, zombies taking over the world, pornographic movie making and twists aplenty and the result is one highly intriguing, complex novel..." - Keith Nixon, Big Al's Books and Pals

"In a cookie-cutter literary world chock-full of imitation and repetition, Will Viharo carves out a thoroughly original ride...Think David Lynch and Raymond Chandler catching a matinee together as the world falls apart. Sexy, smart, surreal. Can't recommend enough." - Joe Clifford, author of Lamentation and Junkie Love

Praise for Freaks That Carry Your Luggage Up to the Room:

"'Freaks That Carry Your Luggage Up to the Room' starts fast and hard and absolutely does not let up until the end. It's not for everyone; this is a not a book that will ever end up on Oprah's recommended reading list, but for those folks who like their fiction twisted, brutal, darkly humorous, and covered in a wide variety of bodily fluids, it's a fantastic read." - Karl Middlebrooks, Listless Ennui
