Product Description

Product Description

Welcome to Scud City, the worst town in America.

The kind of town where when a suitcase packed with money goes missing, college dimwits, punk rockers, a crooked FBI agent, a serial killer, a stripper addicted to torturing men, an un-killable Russian, and a nightclub owner who thinks he's Frank Sinatra all find themselves in a twisted web of sex, murder, and drugs in pursuit of a nest egg none of them deserve.

And welcome to One-Night Stan's, the worst strip club in Scud City. Where the floors are linoleum, the air is cigarette smoke, and the night ain't over till somebody's a corpse.

Kicking off at sunset and ending at sunrise, One-Night Stan's is brutal anarchic fun packed with savage violence, anonymous sex, and all those other things nice people don't laugh at.

Where to begin, imagine Tarantino, Rodriguez and throw in some Coen's after an all night indulgence and you may get the basic idea of the events that occur around Stan's titty bar as a significant quantity of money falls into the hands of some guys who really have no idea what to do with it apart from splash the cash in all the wrong places. Strippers, cops, feds, criminals and just idiots all cross paths in an effort to woe the ideal partner or chase the promise of a good life with a wad of cash and in some cases both. This is Scud City and this is One-Night Stan's and this is the longest day (or shortest) of their lives.
Where to begin, well I laughed out loud more times that I could count whilst reading this book and not just for the comedic moments of which there are many but for the totally out of the blue events that occur when you least expect them or the twists and turns as the likes of Ginger (Stripper who gets off on killing men), Daniel (sad stalker of the lovely SKY) and Stan(Titty bar owner and all round jerk) who cheat, steal, back-stab and basically do anything to survive the dead end life that is Scud City.
One-Night Stan's is not for the faint hearted or those without a broad sense of humour and grounded sensibilities but if you want something raw and brutal but with a huge streak of dark humour then this is the book to read, brilliant stuff.

'One Night Stans' was the first novel I have read by this author. It was exactly my kind of book. The story centres around some money getting into the wrong hands, and various people become entangled in the tale from there. The author is ruthless...don't get too attached to the characters! What I especially liked about the book was that even though it was gruesome, there were parts that had me in absolute stitches. The author used many phrases that I had never heard used before, and that were highly effective. For example: 'Of all the directions to run for help, this idiot had guided her into the woods where you could cut somebody's head off with toenail clippers and never get caught.'; 'Jeremy dropped to his knees as fast as a prostitute with two kids.'
Whilst I normally would be put off by a gory book that makes me laugh, the author did it in such a way that the story lost none of its shock factor. The humour came from the author's way of writing, and not so much from the events in the book. I absolutely loved it. It was refreshing to read a book that is written in a way that makes you stop, think, and then laugh at the way the author has described the action. Will definitely be reading more by this author. If you enjoy gore, shocks and a great storyline (with many twists) then this is a book for you.

Disturbingly funny! 7 Jan 2012
By AnnBoozeandBooksBlogspot - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This was a fast paced comedy of errors with a high body count. There are lots of funny, engaging characters who are after the same bag of stolen money, cases of mistaken identity that don't end well, and it all made me laugh out loud while I was reading. This was a very bloody, disturbing, and humorous book. Highly recommended for anyone with a twisted sense of humor.

Great read! 17 Jan 2012
By LauraK - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I agree with another reviewer that this book reads like a movie. I could see the scenes as I read. It is filled with an ensemble of crazy, messed up, twisted individuals. The quest for the case of stolen money is like a tornado that whips around town, snatching people up, spinning them around, then spitting out their mangled corpses. Mistaken identities, bad decisions, alcohol and drug abuse, graphic violence, and profanity abound. It is shocking, sickening, intriguing, but somehow funny as well. I don't know how to describe how a book can be violent and gross and humorous at the same time, but if you just take my word for it and read the book you will see. The humor is inappropriate and wrong, but I still found myself laughing out loud while reading the book. The murder and mayhem are entertaining, but what takes the book from good to great is that the plot is very well-constructed, with several story lines, each with surprising twists, that continuously overlap.

So Wrong, So Funny 11 Feb 2012
By Patrick OKC - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I do not want to tell my parents or my grandchildren that I read this book. I especially do not want them to know how much I enjoyed it.
The violence is gruesome but rendered rather harmless as it becomes part of the overall comedic effect of the book. The comedy in this book won't appeal to everyone, but I think I grew up like the author and enjoy the sophomoric, sarcastic and unsettling humor that is liberally sprinkled throughout this book.
This book is like a cross between a Jude Apatow and Quintin Tarentino movie. Read it but don't let anyone know!
