5.0 out of 5 stars
Sinister, yet Genius,
This review is from: King Of The Roadkills (Paperback)
KING OF THE ROADKILLS is quite possibly one of the greatest books I own. It is a terribly true depiction of life and the way it treatsd you. I recommend this book especially to teenagers, but i would not limit it to that. The poetry in the book is raw, as well are the short stories. Sinister is a master of the word.

spoken word,
By alexander laurence (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: King Of The Roadkills (Paperback)
Bucky Sinister shows us the different sides of himself and the white trash culture that produced him. He excels in all writing forms: prose poetry, short story, spoken words, and the graphic story. Many of these stories, like "Gerald and Harold" and "Shhhlink" are about attaining manhood in the cold and unfeeling world, whether it's about driving fast, drinking hard alcohol, playing basketball, getting religious, or shooting guns. Throughout this opus, the lonely characters are trying desperately to somehow connect humanly, in solitary pursuits, be they playing virtual chess, pinball, doing drugs, or killing women. Bucky Sinister has produced these writings, both inspried by real life and his imagination, in a short time. His poetry is bone-dry and intense, while his fiction about twentysomethings living in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Arkansas, is equally goofy, humorous, and unsentimental. Some may be turned off to the necrophilia in one story. Friendship is held in higher esteem than love here. That's fine. King of the Roadkills is ultimately an unapologetic kick to the head, entertaining and meaningful, displaying Mr. Sinister's true thoughts and feelings. Chuck Sperry's artwork is an added bonus. This is a must-see and a must-read!

real,
By Ezekiel Faust (Huntington Park, Ca) - See all my reviews
This review is from: King Of The Roadkills (Paperback)
If you're down with Bukowski, let me tell you that Bucky is a hell of a lot better. He captures all sorts of human emotion in a very lucid fashion. Whether he's writing about love, drugs, or just making up stories, no one gets realer than him.
