The Red Mohawk

Residents of the small town B Movie Hell are being murdered by someone wearing a mask with a skull face and a red Mohawk, brutally murdered. They ban together to stop the killer. Little do they know there are lots more things going on. Government agent Jack Munson has been forced out of retirement to come clean up the mess his boss, Devon Pincent, had started many years ago. They need to stop “Red Mohawk” before his mess is made public. Pincent’s boss at the government agency, Milena Fonseca, wants to go along and watch over the assignment. Will the town’s residents manage to stay alive? Will the government agents be able to stop the kilings? Or will The Red Mohawk kill them all?

This is the kind of book I love to read. The Red Mohawk is a sit-on-the-edge-of-your-seat, roller-coaster-ride, thrilling book that keeps you interested from start to finish. Different narratives by different characters lead you to the fascinating ending, making you crave more. The only thing I can think of that left me just a tiny bit dissatisfied is I’m still not quite sure of the motivations of Silvio Mellencamp having Baby at his “palace.” I can’t go into more detail than that or I’ll ruin the big surprise at the end! Do yourself a favor and read this book. I am now anxious to read The Bourbon Kid series by Anonymous. If it’s half as good as this one, it will be wonderful! Thanks to NetGalley and Black Shadow Press for providing me with a copy of this book. This same review will be posted on Goodreads.

Just Fucking WOW. If Tarantino wrote a novel The Red Mohawk would be the result. I can`t remember the last time I enjoyed a book so much,. Ive recommended this to as many friends as I can and will keep on doing so until they read it.. A fantastic serial killer novel with its own soundtrack.

Great read

The Red Mohawk was crazy, violent, gory.... well written, and kind of sweet, even? I don't know what I was expecting, but I certainly wasn't expecting to read a smart story with more than a few "HOW DID I NOT SEE THAT COMING??" moments, a lot of laugh-out-loud bits too, and one of the most fantastic antagonists I've come across in a long time. Truth be told, I was totally rooting for him.

I super-liked this. It's thrilling and exciting story about the weird, closed off town of B Movie Hell being terrorized by a masked murderer known as the Red Mohawk.

The Red Mohawk isn't a typical escaped mental patient type of murderer, and he isn't just randomly targeting victims.

Jack Munson- a drunken almost former government agent and his new, no-nonsense partner Milena Fonsca are sent to B Movie Hell to get the Red Mohawk. They know more then they let on. During their trip, they're thwarted by the "good" citizens of the town. They also have to deal with the very rich town owner of the town and local brothel Silvio Mellencamp.

There's something up with the sweet, naive, Dirty Dancing loving prostitute, Baby. She's not let out of the brothel without a bodyguard. Why is everyone so protective-and not in a good way-about her?

Not for the faint of heart that's for sure. A lot of gore and action with a little humor mixed in. A nicely blended piece of work.

A great read! Absolutely loved it. Kept the pages turning and had me laughing out loud. Lots of action that will keep you hooked. I highly recommend this book. I would also like to get any other books written by this author.

Anyone who glances at the description of The Red Mohawk should know what they are getting in to, so any complainants need only blame themselves. The town is called B Movie Hell and there is a psychopath wearing the mask depicted on the cover chopping heads off. It should be clear if this book is for you or not.

Beyond the grisly body-chopping fun, there is a lot of genuinely funny humor. The banter between characters is one of my favorite parts of the book. In keeping with the cinematic nature of The Red Mohawk, many scenes come off as the type of interplay one would see in a buddy cop movie.

The Red Mohawk is deftly written, action packed, gore soaked, and hilarious. This is my first experience with Anonymous and I will definitely be getting his Bourbon Kid series. 5 stars, highly recommended for horror fans and anyone with a sense of humor.

I'm giving a cheesy horror book all the stars!

I totally cheated my buddy readers, Sh3lly, Kelly, and Ed on this one. I didn't wait on them. I inhaled the book! Sorry, not sorry.

You have a little po-dunk town named B Movie Hell. Named so because a big city movie producer (Porn movies) comes to town. He doesn't like the previous town name so he talks the folks into changing it. He supplies the money so they go along with it. He also happens to own The Beaver Palace.

Then a guy wearing a red leather jacket and yellow mask with a red mohawk shows up.
With a meat cleaver.

Stuff starts to hit the fan. People are losing their heads every which way.

You have one of the hookers named Baby involved. Baby has a touch of Dirty Dancing mania.

Two FBI agents...who are so undercover that if they die no one will know that they were ever there.

I can't go all spoilery. But this book for me totally rocked. My horror has to have a bit of a plot, this one does. Plus 80's music, rednecks cross dressing as Supergirl, a town king pin, and a scene with a deodorant that was just beyond my imagination. Pure goodness.
Now I wish GR had the ability to add a sound-track. Because this book had one.

OMG this was so much fun I again want to dance my feelings!!!!

“‘This time it’s personal.’

‘Jeezus! Could you be any more of a cliché?’

‘Yes I could.’”

The Red Mohawk is a book for lovers of the cheesy horror story. It has all of the ingredients to become an instant cult classic. To begin with, you have the most redneckognized tow in all of ‘Murica – “B Movie Hell.” This place is so white trash it even allowed its naming rights to be purchased!

The cast of characters rotates around the local whorehouse making for some extra raunchy good times that also brought back fond memories from my childhood and the first verboten film I ever sneaky-watched, Porky's.

Next, add in a crazed, masked psychopath, as well as . . . Supergirl????? Yeah, Supergirl. Just go with it. Don’t forget to mix in the most godawfully bad wonderful soundtrack I’ve ever seen, and watch the body count start mounting. Oh, and make sure stop by the local diner for a bite to eat. I mean, you have keep up your strength when it comes to running from bad guys, right??? Just don’t use the restroom. It’s been through . . . uhhhhhh . . . some stuff.

If you’re looking for some campy quality good times, The Red Mohawk is the book for you. So gross, so funny, so surprising that it actually contained quite a decent plot.

ARC provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you, NetGalley!

This is not your typical horror book. It really is so much more. It seems the inmates really are running the asylum and the whole darn town. I mean who would name a town, B Movie Hell? Or are they really as crazy as you think? After all the Red Mohawk is on a mission and will slash, hack, and cut off whatever is in his way to get what he is there to retrieve. This book does not hold back on the gore or the nonstop action that gets you there or through it. There are also, believe it or not, some very funny parts, especially when the FBI agents visit the mental asylum, enough said. Even if this is not your normal genre, as it isn’t for me, give it a chance, it just might surprise you, it was a really great book.

Really enjoyed this book! It had me going back and forth from being horrified and dying laughing. Can't want to see the movie. Definitely deserves to be made into one.

This story would be outstanding as a graphic story or a movie. The plot is convoluted and exciting, the characters are extreme and fascinating, and the descriptions are at the perfect level for communication. I ended the book with a feeling of: "Wow, what was that?" There are so many details and clues that I read it a second time to glean more satisfaction. The graphic sex and violence are not for the squeamish.

I received a copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an unbiased review.

While bloody thrillers are not my usual fare, I have to admit that this was one interesting read! I was intrigued to find that the author is named Anonymous. When I searched for other books by Anonymous, I found a photo of the author. If you find it, you will not be disappointed, and that’s all I will say.

The small town of B Movie Hell, formerly known as Sherwood County, was renamed when Silvio Mellencamp moved to town and invested a lot of his fortune in local businesses back in the 1980s. The townspeople keep to themselves, the brothel, run by Silvio and known as The Beaver Palace, is well known to many of the locals, and everyone has a place and a purpose.

Life in B Movie Hell manages to avoid intrusion from the outside until a stranger wearing a skull mask topped with a red mohawk appears from nowhere and starts decapitating and slicing up the locals.

Government agents Jack Munson and Milena Fonseca are sent to locate and capture or kill the masked psychopath. To their surprise, the people of B Movie Hell would prefer not to have their assistance.

Gore is plentiful. Normally, I don’t lean toward “slice-and-dice” books, but this particular book, with its nonstop action and well-developed plot, has made me a fan of Anonymous. I highly recommend this, with the disclaimer that some of the scenes might make you clinch certain parts of your body.

Brilliant writing, a book your going to love. This is not your ordinary serial killer book. The author has cleverly written in twist and turns that will keep you glued to the pages and entertained till the end. Things are not always as they seem. Don't miss this book! I can see this being a box office hit at the movies.

Great book, though kind of nutty. Recommended, though. Enjoy. (Amazon reviewed)

This is a wild and crazy pastiche/homage to the great B movies of the 80s - particularly the slasher movies. I enjoyed reading it - nice satire and a lot of fun.

Please read carefully to find all the references, especially the plot lines of "Road House," one of the 80s guilty pleasures.!

A really fun and entertaining read!

AMAZING book. I loved the old style feel to it and the character dialogues. I honestly thought this book would be cheesy fluff but I intensely loved it. It had suspense, tons of comedy and just plain old good story telling. This author is definitely one to watch for!

An incredibly gory yet gripping , fast paced with some comedy thrown in as a perfect mix for horror fans! Absolutely loved it from page one till the end. The characters and plot are well developed with several twists. Definately looking forward to more from author!

"The whole place is a tribute to movie clichés from the eighties. They’ve got a Nakatomi Towers, a Rocky Balboa statue, a McDowell’s restaurant, you name it."

"And everything and everyone went batshit crazy. The diner erupted like everyone in it had been thrown from a rollercoaster."

This is the best time I have ever had reading horror and it will make the greatest masked horror movie since Scream! It was so funny, brutal, action packed, and steeped in the history of its genre. Small town, dark secret, masked killer, large meat cleaver - enjoy. I loved all the references to 80s/90s movies: from Dirty Dancing to Primal Fear to Die Hard this book was speaking my language. It has a simple vengeance plot that takes you for a ride.

Side note: What happened to simple vengeance? Payback doesn't have to be Oceans Eleven or The Count of Monte Cristo - Wrath of Khan was epically good.

I want Bruce Willis to play Jack Munson, I want a date with Joey Conrad (I assure you, I've made worse choices), and I want sequels!!!
