Description
Deep in debt to Tough City's biggest boss, DeCameron Wichita takes a missing persons job that he oughtn't've and makes the biggest rookie mistake a guy like him could make: He falls in love.
With a stone-cold killer.
But because he never does anything half-way, he also interferes with a blood feud, challenges Da Cherch, butts heads with pornographers, goes on the lam from the FTCP, saves a damsel in distress, jumps out of a flying machine, puts on a dress, goes to the movies, and visits his mom. Oh yeah, and punches a whole lotta people. Just like any other day in Tough City. Only it wasn't any other day. It was Tuesday.
Read by co-author and renowned voice-actor Yuri Lowenthal, listeners will be in for a treat with the audiobook version of Tough City.
Bug Bot Press is pleased to announce the comedy pulp novel Tough City. Written by Yuri Lowenthal and Keith Ikeda-Barry as part of a 72 hour novel writing contest, while holed up in a cheap motel in Wichita, Kansas, the making of the book is almost as exciting as the book itself. Almost. You won't want to miss this side-splitting and spit-taking hard-boiled adventure.
"A cross between bloody-knuckle noir and old-school Pink Panther slapstick it only hurts when you laugh, and you'll laugh a lot." (Scott Sigler, author of Contagious)
"I sat up in my seat when I read the introduction, moved to the edge when I read the first chapter, and held on tight when the damn thing took off. The only book this year that I read in one sitting, Tough City is the kind of literary experiment the world needs more of. Blisteringly odd descriptions and quirky, character-driven dialogue make for an unforgettable read!" (Travis Sentell, author of Fluid)

a tough review
its hard to stay impartial as I'm a huge fan of both gritty/wild noir and the vocal stylings of Yuri. while the writing itself is somewhat hard to follow, what with it being filled with slang and the story going all over the place...that's what noir's all about
the story while hard to follow at times is very fun. Though one must keep in mind this book WAS written within 3 days for a contest with very little sleep. and it shows.
if you're not a fan of wanton violence, monologues, swearing, attitude (some of which directed AT the reader/listener) and/or general tough guy debauchery/machismo this story WILL not be for you which is ok...
...just means you're not a tough guy
