Review: Pop the Clutch from Dark Moon Books

Review: Pop the Clutch from Dark Moon Books

A true throwback in genre fiction, Pop the Clutch: Thrilling Tales of Rockabilly Monsters, and Hot Rod Horror transports readers back in time to a culture adored by those who lived it and celebrated by those who followed.

Readers will find a varied blend of wild tales from the spooky occult to the bizarre and unexplained, all set in the 1950’s. A time when drive-in movies and soda joints were the…

Pop the Clutch: Thrilling Tales of Rockabilly, Monsters, and Hot Rod Horror, edited by Eric J. Guignard, illustrated by Steve Chanks, Dark Moon Books, 2019. Info: darkmoonbooks.com.

Welcome to the cool side of the 1950s, where the fast cars and revved-up movie monsters peel out in the night. Where outlaw vixens and jukebox tramps square off with razorblades and lead pipes. Where rockers rock, cool cats strut, and hot rods roar. Where you howl to the moon as the tiki drums pound and the electric guitar shrieks and that spit-and-holler jamboree ain't gonna stop for a long, long time... maybe never. This is the '50s where ghost shows still travel the back roads of the south, and rockabilly has a hold on the nation's youth; where lucky hearts tell the tale, and maybe that fella in the Shriners' fez ain't so square after all. Where exist noir detectives of the supernatural, tattoo artists of another kind, Hollywood fix-it men, and a punk kid with grasshopper arms under his chain-studded jacket and an icy stare on his face. This is the '50s of Pop the Clutch: Thrilling Tales of Rockabilly, Monsters, and Hot Rod Horror. This is your ticket to the dark side of American kitsch... the fun and frightful side!

Hey. Heeeeyyy.

You know who you guys should check out?

You should check out Amelia Beamer.

She is an American novelist and an all-round lovely person. I gave her a tour of Dublin and she gave me really valuable writing advice. She has met Neil Gaiman and Garth Nix and a whole host of famous writers. And ugh. She was so nice, and encouraging. I was really lucky to meet her.

So yeah, go pay attention to her.

The Loving Dead: Really bad.

    Maybe I just don't get the whole "zombie" thing. Don't get me wrong, like the next 20s something I have a zombie-pocalpyse escape plan, have watched enough zombie films to know zombies are "cool," and am forwarded by I. relevant zombie-in-the-news stories. But I don't get the appeal enough to enjoy (or even want to read) Amelia Beamer's The Loving Dead. No wait, I think it's Beamer's fault for writing a boring, predictable, boring, and boring book, because I liked Wide Sargasso Sea (zombies) and The Forest of Hands Teeth (more zombies). So I take it back. I don't blame zombies for the terrible book I just suffered through: I blame the lack of plot, character, setting, theme and ability to narrate without the use of clumsy descriptions.

I guess the thing that's supposed to make the book appealing is that zombification takes place by way of sex, and that zombies can be controlled through sadistic whip lashings. As if somehow by describing lesbian sex and sadism I'm going to forget the narrative is TERRIBLE.

BOOK OF THE DAY: The Loving Dead by Amelia Beamer

Kate and Michael are roommates living in the Oakland hills, working at the same Trader Joes supermarket. A night of drunken revelry changes their lives forever, but not in the way that anyone would expect. A slow-spreading plague of zombie-ism breaks out at their house party, spreading amongst their circle of friends, and simultaneously through the Bay Area. This zombie plague - an STD of sorts - is spread through sex and kissing, turning its victims into mindless, horny, voracious killers. Thrust into extremes by this slow- motion tragedy, Kate and Michael are forced to confront the choices they've made in their lives, and their fears of commitment, while trying to stay alive and reunite in the one place in the Bay Area that's likely to be safe and secure from the zombie hoards: Alcatraz.
