In Huston's intense, frenetic and brutal conclusion to the pulp-inspired Joe Pitt Casebooks (after 2008's Every Last Drop), Pitt wants to hide in the sewers from the assorted vampyres he's pissed off, but his old friend, porn producer Chubby, draws him out to try to help a young woman who has been impregnated by a vampyre. Naturally, once he's on the surface, Joe is threatened, beaten and maimed by assorted enemies. Narrating grimly through the pain, he explores the origins of the vampyre-creating Vyrus while playing Manhattan's various supernatural factions against each other. Readers new to the series might find this book tough to penetrate (though Huston does mix some exposition into the story), but longtime fans will jump right in, and the fast pacing, sharp dialogue and pulp action will keep them entertained.

The last chapter in the Joe Pitt series… finally!
Yeah finally… because the last two books in the series kind of sucked.
As I’ve said before, “Half the Blood of Brooklyn”, which is the third entry, is more like an essay rather than a proper Crime Fiction novel. Things got a bit better with “Every Last Drop”, but the Noir in-your-face Punk feeling never surfaced to the level of the first two books.
In my humble opinion the big issue with the two aforementioned books is that they are part of a trilogy. Books with a weak plots and no ending, more like chapters or periods of time in the life of Joe Pitt rather than proper Noir Mystery Crime Fiction novel. Like the first two.
Charlie Huston did things very easy for himself with “My Dead Body”. Actually, it’s so easy that it even amused me while reading the book. While “My Dead Body” has its own life, the author lay its foundation around (almost) every significant character from previous novels.
He brings Closure!
Still no mystery!
Although it is said that this is the last book in the Joe Pitt series I wouldn’t bet all my money on it. Joe Pitt might be done in New York, but you never know…
Cheers
