Mods, Brighton, Revenge, what more could you want?,
By Jimmy Toddler "J T Toddler" (San Diego) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Die Hard Mod (Paperback)
Reminiscent of those old Richard Allen pulps such as Skinhead and Suedehead, McQuaker's Die Hard Mod takes us on an uncompromising roller-coaster ride from the mean streets of Belfast to the bohemian sun-drenched Laines of Brighton. Steve the Mod has to leave Belfast after the local sectarians take a dislike to him, so he travels to the natural home of all Mods, Brighton. He soon, however, finds that it is not the hedonistic nirvana he was expecting and things go form bad to worst when several blasts from the past make an unwelcome appearance. McQuaker is a skilful writer taking us through the prose with the pace of highly tuned Lammy heading down the A47 to Great Yarmouth. He captures the sense of loss and bitterness as Steve tries to negotiate his way through this modern world in which he feels out of place wherever he goes. I highly recommend this read to fans of both the pulp genre and the Mod culture and anyone seeking simple, but hard hitting literary entertainment.

Not One For Your Auntie,
By Donald Connor (East Belfast) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Die Hard Mod (Paperback)
Pure pop pulp of the most lurid and gratuitious kind. A thoroughly unwholesome mixture of wanton violence, seemy sex, mugs of tea and high cholesterol breakfasts. Who could ask for anything more? A classic of its kind.

Pulp Mod!,
By Paul D Brazill (Bydgoszcz, Poland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Die Hard Mod (Paperback)
Charlie McQuaker's blistering Die Hard Mod ...`One perfect summer, Steve the Mod got his kicks with the beautiful but wild Jeanie - now life's just giving him a right good kicking... Set in the troubled back streets of Belfast and the thrill-seeking underworld of Brighton, Die Hard Mod is a fast-paced tale of lust, love, friendship and righteous retribution.' Charlie McQuaker's Die Hard Mod is not only a rush of a read, it looks great too. The book has a beautiful retro cover with an aged look that gives the impression that it's an old Seventies's paperback - maybe by Richard Allen ( in fact McQuaker says 'I thought I'd have a bash at doing my own version of what I imagined Richard Allen did with the `Skinhead series of books thoug I've never actually read any of them!) -that has been stuffed in someones back pocket for about twenty years. It's perfectly paced, in pint sized chapters and is a great hangover cure. Don't start it in a Sunday night, though, because you'll probably throw a sicky on Monday morning so you can finish it. Die Hard Mod is the latest release from Pulp Press - a new publishing house which aims to give the pulp fiction genre a 21st century makeover and whose brilliant slogan is Turn Off Your TV And Discover Fiction Like It Used To Be ...
