Hiram Grange #2
Hiram Grange and the Twelve Little Hitlers: The Scandalous Misadventures of Hiram Grange
THE SCANDALOUS MISADVENTURES OF HIRAM GRANGE
BOOK 2
Hitler has escaped. Twelve of them, to be precise, each cloned from the original and hiding in the bizarre American underground. Hiram Grange has been tasked with hunting them down. The only problem: he's hit rock bottom. His worst binge ever - a mad dance with absinthe, opium and depression. . .
Hiram Grange & the Twelve Little Hitlers continues the misadventures of the scurrilous boozer and malcontent Hiram Grange. Though afflicted with a laundry list of dysfunctions, addictions and odd predilections, Hiram Grange stands toe to toe (and sometimes toe to tentacle) with the black-hearted denizens of the Abyss, dispensing justice with the help of an antiquated Webley revolver and a Pritchard bayonet.
Scott Christian Carr lives on a secluded mountaintop deep in New York's Hudson Valley, where he makes a living writing and producing for film and television and spending time with his family. His fiction has appeared in dozens of magazines and anthologies.

One of the best things about being on Shroud Publishing's Hiram Grange writing team has been the chance to read what the other authors have done. Scott's entry, the second in the series, knocked me sideways. It features Hiram at his lowest ebb, at the bottom of a drug and absinthe fuelled binge that puts him on the edge of sanity. There are also Hitlers, and Jodie Foster. By the end of the book, Hiram’s world changes forever, and I didn't know whether to pity the character I had a hand in creating or loathe him. The whole book is strange, blackly funny, and incredibly disorientating. I haven't read anything like it before and, trust me, neither have you.

Hiram Grange's goes on a drug-induced murdering spree of twelve Hitlers that sprang from a crack between dimensions. I can't really say anything else without giving away spoilers - this book made me repeatedly ask, "Is this really happening or is Grange hallucinating?" I had to keep reading to find out.
The drug use doesn't appeal to me but it's an effective means for depicting the flaws in the anti-hero's personality. I recommend this story for fans of both Hunter S. Thompson and H. P. Lovecraft.
I love that this series has many contributors - it's interesting to see Hiram told through different eyes and I'm eager to read the third installment for a new perspective.
