My Review
For those with loose morals and cash in their pocket, the Deuce in the 80's was an adults playground.
Pimps, prostitutes, horror movies, drugs, comic books and murder all play a part in the melting pot of life on 42nd street in author Preston Fassel's debut novel.
Our Lady of the Inferno hooked me right off the bat. First with that cover (which has some nice ties to the story itself) and then with the characters who populate this prominently polluted and perverse playground, which, unlike most genre-tales, showcases its horrors in broad daylight.
The protagonist (prostitute and mother-hen to her pimps' gang of streetwalkers) Ginny Kurva is the glue that binds the noir elements to the horror. By virtue of this dangerous profession, her brood unwittingly put themselves at risk of gore splatter slaughter; prime targets for a sacrificial ceremony by the hand of an unstable and unsuspecting serial killer.
Macabre, intense, and beautifully written, Our Lady of the Inferno is a must read for horror enthusiasts.
My rating: 5/5 stars.
