Crooked Little Vein is noir on crack! Warren Ellis, known to most as a preeminent comic book writer (Transmetropolitan, Iron Man-In Extremis) delivered the goods with his first novel. A mystery thriller at heart, Crooked quickly veers off the map and off the planet! Det. Mike Mcgill is a shit magnet. No two ways about it, this guy can't catch a fucking break. He's on his last leg, a broken man, coming to terms with his lot in life. Bam, door swings open and changes his life. Our hero is blasted full throttle into a quest that to most would be labeled absolutely insane. Mike finds himself and a whole lot of weird shit along the way. Warren Ellis paints such a vivid picture of the under-underbelly of America, that you can smell and feel the filth right off the page. Oh and did I mention It's hilarious? Yeah, it is. I don't want to give any of this ride away so go find this book at your local book store and enjoy! If you're a fan of Palahnuik and meth & mescaline flavored jello shooters, this is your book. ...Giant Lizard Bukkake.
