Smashed, Squashed, Splattered, Chewed, Chunked and Spewed A Novel by Lance Carbuncle (Self-published, ©2007) Reviewed by Kent Manthie For those of you who’ve been keeping up on the world of hip, urbane and witty “underground” novels and the people who write them, you are right, I am going backwards: I reviewed Lance Carbuncle’s latest, most recent novel, Grundish and Askew […]
