The Thrillville Pulp Fiction Collection, Volume Two: Lavender Blonde/Down a Dark Alley

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 Two: Lavender Blonde (a novel in dialogue) and the satirical crime thriller Down a Dark Alley present a dual dose of extremely graphic, uniquely compelling noir, loaded with more sordid sex and vicious violence than any fifty exploitation films, but also equipped with a stylistic complexity, emotional resonance and psychological depth absent from routine pulp fare. "No human being has absorbed more pulp culture and its seamy sexploitation underbelly than Will Viharo. Thankfully, his warped synapses and calloused, compulsive fingertips are able to repurpose it all and blow it back onto the page-desperate, demented, delirious, D-cupped ... and many other D words as well." -Eddie Muller, Czar of Noir, author of Dark City Dames, Grindhouse: the Forbidden World of "Adults Only" Cinema, and Gun Crazy: The Origin of the American Outlaw "Besides the great style, plot, and characters, what I love so much about Will Viharo's work is his willingness to really go there in his depictions of sex and violence. The dude's not shy. At all." -Mike Monson, author of Tussinland, What Happens in Reno, and The Scent of New Death
