This was a nonstop pulpy romp! We had a blast talking about it at our book club. Valancourt re-released this 1979 novel b4 White Gladis started her campaign. Timely! A few folks were critical abt some of the writing, but TBH, I don‘t care if the author switches between first and last name when you have a ripped off arm & arterial blood pulsing “like steam out of a kettle” in the first 5 pages.
