Book Description

December 29, 2009
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.

As Head of Development for both the Emmy Award-winning Triple Threat Television and the Academy Award-nominated Fredric Golding Productions Scott developed original programming for such networks as MSNBC, ESPN, CNBC, A&E, The Hallmark Channel, Discovery Networks and The Learning Channel, before leaving to co-found his own production company, Brothers Carr Productions.

He writes every day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Advance Praise: The Toxic Avenger LOVES Twelve Little Hitlers..., January 2, 2010
This review is from: Hiram Grange and the Twelve Little Hitlers: The Scandalous Misadventures of Hiram Grange (Book #2) (Paperback)
I am the author, and just wanted to share some of the advance praise for TWELVE LITTLE HITLERS. Thank you so much, everyone who has taken the time to read and review the novel---it is VERY much appreciated!! --Scott

"More fun than a barrel full of Hitlers... The best novel since Don Quixote!"
--Lloyd Kaufman, President of Troma Entertainment and Creator of the Toxic Avenger

"Scott Christian Carr is one of the most insightful writers I know. He's also one of the funniest. Reading 'Twelve Little Hitlers' never fails put you under an intellectual pleasure-dome, which is great in and of itself---The unexpected surprise is, you'll also laugh your ass off!"
--Patricia Anthony, author of Cold Allies, Brother Termite, Conscience of the Beagle, Happy Policeman, Cradle of Splendor, God's Fires, Flanders, Eating Memories...

"Somewhere in the Underworld, Lovecraft is grinning with delight and Hunter S. Thompson is raising his bottle high. You won't find a darker, more twisted character than Hiram Grange."
--Gregory L. Hall, Host of The Funky Werepig and author of `At the End of Church Street'

"Twelve Little Hitlers walks the tricky line between gut wrenching horror and almost terroristic black comedy. Its violent wonders are imaginative and plot driven. Scott Christian Carr goes for Weird and Funny and never settles for pointless or easy gross-outs. Hiram Grange, the disaffected, alcoholic protagonist, is at once pathetic and heroic as he chases down his unenviable destiny. A great read, with enough laughs and thrills to satisfy even die-hard horror fans."
--Michael Boatman, author of The Revenant Road and God Laughs When You Die: Mean Little Stories From the Wrong Side of the Track; actor, Warehouse 13, Spin City, Arli$$, Hamburger Hill, Gray's Anatomy

5.0 out of 5 stars I really loathe Hiram after this one., March 25, 2010
This review is from: Hiram Grange and the Twelve Little Hitlers: The Scandalous Misadventures of Hiram Grange (Book #2) (Paperback)
Hiram Grange and the Twelve Little Hitlers, the second book in Shroud Publishing's Hiram Grange series of novellas, is, on the surface, a string of twelve vignettes, each dealing with the capture and/or extermination of one of twelve clones of Adolf Hitler that escaped from the World Trade Center when the towers fell. These vignettes are connected by a one-man opiate, psychedelic and alcohol binge unparalleled in the history of the planet. Hiram Grange, not the most sympathetic protagonist to begin with, has clearly fallen farther than he ever has before.

I gave the first installment in the series a modest review, but upon further consideration I realize that Jake Burrows, the author of the first novella, was operating from a distinct disadvantage: he not only had to tell his story, he had to introduce Hiram and the entire series at the same time. Scott Christian Carr, the author of Twelve Little Hitlers, doesn't have that monkey on his back. He starts grinding Hiram into the dirt from the get-go: he's lost his home, narrowly missed a conviction on stalking charges and is squatting in someone's home while they're on vacation. It keeps getting worse from there.

Carr's writing style takes a little getting used to, but once you're in, you're in. The ending was a true, completely-out-of-left-field shocker, and was somewhat traumatic to read. I have to say I really loathe Hiram after this one. So far, the Hiram Grange series is delivering the goods: none of your assumptions are safe, and none of the standard storytelling conventions are sacred. 4.8/5.

4.0 out of 5 stars BookReview.com Review, January 10, 2010
This review is from: Hiram Grange and the Twelve Little Hitlers: The Scandalous Misadventures of Hiram Grange (Book #2) (Paperback)
The Hiram Grange series continues with the second installment: Twelve Little Hitlers. Here we see a new threat to the fragile balance between our reality and the evil dimension known as The Abyss as it releases twelve clones from the most heinous historical figure of the 20th century loose upon the world. Hiram Grange - debauched protagonist and saviour of reality - has the task of tracking them down and eliminating each clone before they can make their mark.

Whilst the premise is hardly unique (think Ira Levin's Boys from Brazil) Twelve Little Hitlers has something that sets it apart. What we have is a story that kind of takes a back seat to the manipulation and ultimate downfall of its central character. As Grange lurches from one drug and alcohol binge to another, the surefire means of holding his psychological ills at bay become a means of seduction and misdirection; leading him to commit the ultimate, shocking act of violence in the final pages.

There is no doubt in my mind that Scott Christian Carr's punk-punching narrative has taken what may have been a lukewarm premise and lifted it into the ether. In The Village of the Damned - Grange's first outing - we were introduced to Hiram's addiction, in Twelve Little Hitlers we are dragged by the scruff of the neck, nailed to a seat in the front row and forced to bear witness, up close and personal, to the point where the horror is not so much propagated by the demons of the tale, but by the demons all too prevalent in life itself.

A masterful,commanding piece of fiction, Twelve Little Hitlers is a must for ardent horror fans and contributors to the craft,alike.
