In rural Oklahoma, little person Gordon Trask has just been killed and eaten by mutant badgers. When animal control refuses to act and another little person is maimed, the local Little Persons Association springs into action to deal with the threat. Now, sick of a world of discrimination, this pint-sized posse is armed to the teeth and ready for revenge. But behind the badger attacks an even greater danger is at play, one that could lay all the little people low.

I recieved a PDF copy of "Little People, Big Guns" from the author in exchange for an honest review. To be honest I'm happy to have been given the opportunity. Despite the small print of the PDF copy I breezed through "LPBG" in a short amount of time and loved every second of it.
When one of their own is killed, and no one seems to care enough to do anything about it, the surviving members of the Little Person's Association take matters into their own hands and find themselves embroiled in a battle with the Coalition for Radical Animal Protection (CRAP) that is as exciting as it is hilarious. I laughed, I gasped and I nearly choked on a piece of beef jerky over a joke that I cannot repeat here.
Don't sell yourself short; read "Little People, Big Guns". You will not regret it.

Author Matthew Quinn has created an amusing adventure following a few select members of the Little Persons Association attempting to prevent a deadly secret project using extreme measures. Little People Big Guns, uses the the finest skills of bizarro fiction to claim an alluring and entertaining war on killer badgers. Readers, try to survive this lovely adaptation of trashy exploitation, and enjoy the absurdity.

Definitely an outside the box approach to horror/comedy. I think this was probably one of the funniest books I've read all year. I immensely enjoyed the unique perspective this book offered, from the struggles of little people, fighting against county bylaws, and of course mutant badgers.

We had a cast of unique and well rounded characters. James, the President of the McTavish Little People's Association, who is a good Catholic and tries very hard to live up to what God wants from him. Murphy, a little person 'with a hard on for the Marine Corps' who enjoys being combative. Marquise, a very outgoing little person who doesn't get along with Murphy. Finally there is Angela who is just trying to survive in this crazy world.

In here we have some unique action, and a very funny plot which I absolutely cannot spoil. I recommend this for anyone who enjoys a fine work of fiction and some really out there characters. Very much worth a read.

A delightfully over-the-top book, Little People Big Guns is without a doubt the most comical and confounding book I've read this year. When a man is killed, and the authorities won't act, his friends decide to take matters into their own hands. Now, you're probably looking at that sentence, thinking, "Well, I've heard that before", but when it turns out there's a comically sinister conspiracy involving the most ludicrous of bedfellows, and maddest of plans, you will be stunned as I was. I heartily recommend this.

Little people, big guns, big fun

Vicious badgers, crazy rednecks, evil eco-terrorists, gratuitous sex and violence, government bureaucracy and Catholic guilt. And of course little people and big guns. What more do you want? A bizarre, ridiculous good time.

A fun little read. I did start this book thinking this was going to be Bizarro but I'm not sure I would class it as so, or I am just used to reads being a bit weirder. I do like my genres to the extreme.
Not bad as a horror read, killer badgers, hidden evil and some laughs.

Twisted fun!

Delightfully dark humor makes LITTLE PEOPLE, BIG GUNS a fast and fun read from start to finish. Quinn’s mixes in his wry social commentary but it doesn’t distract from enjoying the story.

I am a big fan of camp, and horror comedy, so I am definitely glad I was able to read this. I was laughing, cringing (in a good way) at certain parts, and just shaking my head at the absurdity of it all. If you enjoy campy horror, definitely give this a read!

Good dumb fun.

Probably not a modern litarary classic but what do you expect? It's short, chuckle worthy B-movie nonsense in book form.

Matthew Quinn's got a droll comic wit and a gonzo eye for gore. A fast, mean little book that bites like a mutant badger.
