Hairy Bromance
Blurb
"Disclaimer:
Not one vampire in this book sparkles."
"When best friends Glen the Sasquatch and Barry the Werewolf
make the front page of the local paper they have to leave town in a hurry. Can
two hirsute drinking buddies survive step-mothers, sex cults, monster hunters,
and each other in one monstrous cross-country
road trip? It's Comic-Con or bust in this outrageous satire which does for
monsters and horror what The Hitchhiker's
Guide to the Galaxy did for sci-fi.
Buckle up, BYOB and bring your Front-line for Hairy Bromance!"
Excerpt
"Comic-Con or Bust! decorated the door panels of the car.
“So much for not attracting undue attention,” Barry muttered.
“It’s going to be awesome!” Glen shouted and patted Barry on the back.
“Just get in the car, already,” Barry commanded. Glen did so. The car sank down on its shocks.
Barry got in and drove with all haste out onto Route Seven and picked up speed toward the interstate.
“Where’s Ollie? He’s not coming with?” Glen asked.
“No. He said he had someone special he had to meet.”
“A special lady friend?” Glen asked.
“I think so.”
“Lucky punk bastard,” the Sasquatch growled.
“Tell me about it,” Barry commiserated.
“Speak of the devil,” Glen said and pointed up into the night sky. Far above them, over the dark hills, Ollie flew hand in hand with a
beautiful young vampire woman. They danced and swirled and came together in a kiss. Ollie pointed to the car, and both of the vampires waved.
“Oh, my God. I think that’s the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen,” Barry said and wiped a sentimental tear from his cheek.
“I don’t know,” Glen said from the back of the car, “I don’t really go in for all that Twilight crap.”"

Hairy Bromance is an oddly entertaining book. It’s full of monsters, but they’re not quasi-scary, mindless beasts. They’re like normal people who just happen to be monsters. While the two main characters Glen and Barry are a Sasquatch and Werewolf, the book has just about every other monster imaginable. Some I even had to Google to figure out what they are.
The story is simple: Glen and Barry get run out of their homes after they allow photographic evidence of them to show up in their local paper. The most logical thing to do? Head cross country to Comic-Con! Along the way, they run into a variety of beasts (both friendly and unfriendly), get chased by monster hunters, drink beer (lots of it), face significant issues from their pasts, publicly “out” monsters as a part of society, and even manage to get lucky.
What really impressed me is how incredibly well-written it is. The characters are so well fleshed out that I didn’t really think of them as monsters (even the ones that were not even vaguely humanoid). The author clearly has serious talent, and I look forward to reading more.

Not what I expected from reading the back cover. It was much more graphic (R rated if I were giving a rating). Sounded cute, but a lot of sex, violence and unnecessary swearing.

There's nothing more fun than reading a book with a new twist. This is one of those books. I truly enjoyed it and recommend it to all adult readers.
