Brother Bones The Undead Avenger Ron Fortier Rob Davis 9780615725536 Books
Ron Fortier has a knack for writing books that resurrect old pulp characters, like the classic superhero CAPTAIN HAZZARD, and for creating “new pulp” novels that feature characters of his own creation, like the World War I ace and spy NIGHT HAWK and the noir-flavored supernatural avenger BROTHER BONES. Like many of Fortier’s books, BROTHER BONES features a great pulp-inspired cover painting and interior artwork by his partner at the fast-growing Airship 27 Productions company, Rob Davis. Unlike some of Fortier’s books, this one is a collection of stories rather than a novel. They start with one that introduces the violent, gang and monster-filled city of Cape Noire and explains the origin of the title character, a monk who returns from the dead to bring often bloody justice to villains who deserve it. Each of the following stories is a self-contained yarn with interesting good and bad guys (and girls) and a plot that ends with an intercession by Brother Bones. It’s fun, fast-paced pulpy reading. If you like old pulp magazine stories or the type of new pulp stories and novels that Fortier has helped pioneer, you should enjoy BROTHER BONES. I definitely did.Product details

Brother Bones The Undead Avenger Ron Fortier Rob Davis 9780615725536 Books Reviews
One of the finest “new pulp” fiction published in recent times, this book from master craftsman Ron Fortier contains the following stories
1. The Bone Brothers
2. Shield & Claw
3. Scales of Terror
4. See Spot Kill
5. The Root of Evil
6. Gorilla Dreams
7. The Ghost Train
Despite being marred by typos, these stories contain nearly everything that stood for pulp fiction once upon a time, the list being an undead avenger, a werewolf, a Lovecraftian horror, zombies, an evil tree, a Gorilla possessing a human brain, ghosts, curvaceous damsels (in distress, causing distress, taking care of distress), honest cops, mobsters, vivid imagery & language that can animate & invigorate bodily parts with various instincts, and dark humour. More importantly, the stories are bound to propel you towards the Net to find if the fine people of Airship 27 have brought out more of such works.
Recommended.
Finished reading Brother Bones The Undead Avenger by Ron Fortier last night. A very good example of pulp writing, with heavy use of the supernatural throughout, in my opinion. I picked it up randomly from Airship 27 Productions, because I had heard good things about them, and was intrigued by the character of Brother Bones; I'm extremely glad I did, because the collection of short stories was highly satisfying. The first, "The Bones Brothers" is the origin tale of the character. The story tells of two brothers who are enforcers for the mob in Cape Noir (the city where the stories are set.) Betrayal, death, a chance at redemption and the meting out of justice long deserved are all contained within this story. "Shield and Claw" tells of the police in Cape Noir, corruption, and the consequences of going after the "easy" money. Also featured are Brother Bones and... werewolves! Very nice story. "Scales of Terror" introduces Blackjack Bobby Crandall, a blackjack dealer in a local casino. While trying to console a certain female friend of his, they both stumble into something worse than the infidelity that the woman has been suspecting... something that comes from the outer regions of Hell! B.B. is drawn in to put paid to the thing from outside, but will everyone survive? Entertaining, to say the least, and melds pulp and Lovecraft together in the story, at least in my opinion. "See Spot Kill" mixes voodoo, a couple of hapless partiers that do a very bad thing, along with intrepid city reporter Sally Paige. It's up to B.B. to sort things out, along with an assist from Sally. I like the fact that this installment adds to the cast of characters in Cape Noir's locale, alongside the usual pulpy goodness of the story. "The Root of Evil" further adds to the cast, introducing an unholy group of behind the scenes men, who if nothing else, have the patience of ages and the resources to eventually get what they want. There is also an underlying, interwoven tale that ends in a second chance. Sally and Blackjack both return, and another force for good is introduced, simply called the Brunette... she seems very capable and professional, and is definitely an ace in the hole, take that as you will. This seems slightly longer, and weaves in some subplots and new characters, and I greatly appreciated the story. I kind of think those shadowy, behind the scenes type of guys might become a thorn in The Undead Avenger's side, or possibly a RPG in his side, lol. "Gorilla Dreams" has various subplots, bringing together familiar faces from B.B.'s past, a horrible vengeance on one of these faces from the old days, and something very bad happening during the normal operating procedures of the mob. This, of course, draws Brother Bones' attention which, really, these types of people should avoid... A new character is introduced, the debonair Temple Alan Knight, who I absolutely love... This rather suave fellow unfortunately runs afoul of B.B., a minx whose charms he can't deny, and a rather ape-ish gangster, who won't take no for an answer... His vacation in Cape Noir is rather chock full of interruptions... lol. That said, the woman who's charms he couldn't deny also looks like a very big player in Brother Bones' future... just saying. "The Ghost Train" is the last story in this collection, tells the tale of a horrible event perpetrated in the name of greed, the two minions for hire involved, and the ghostly vengeance that is inflicted upon them. Set in both Cape Noir, and the outlying wilderness, this is a very effective tale. All in all, I loved these stories, and I will be buying the sequel, and no doubt, enjoying it. I like the characters, writing, and themes. To address some of the criticisms I found on A There are too many typos, which totally impede my reading pleasure. This collection has some typos, which did not take away from my enjoyment of the stories in the least. I've seen worse in some releases by bestselling authors, from big name publishing houses. There are not many, and if your brain can not process the text, I feel very sorry for you. B The quality of writing in general. I respond by saying, I don't know what version of this collection you are reading. Possibly, this is not the genre for you. I found it to be very entertaining, and a good example of the genre done the right way. C Brother Bones does not appear early enough in his stories, he's basically a guest star in his own book. This is valid, depending on the reader's outlook. Do you like a good story, or do you just want your favorite character in every frame? In the main, something bad happens, the story is fleshed out, characters are introduced, then Brother Bones arrives to do what he does. He is the spirit of vengeance, after all! Something really bad has to happen before he can swoop into action... I would think that people would like to know the full reasons behind B.B.'s involvement, and let the story and characters grow naturally before he responds to the evil event. Just saying... 5 out of 5 stars
Knowing that a Cape Noire tabletop role playing game is just on the horizon, I decided to sink my teeth into the series from which the game is drawn. I was not at all disappointed. While some of the stories in this anthology are better than others, Ron Fortier throws every pulp trope into this book but the kitchen sink. Hey, he had to save something for the next volume, right? My one gripe with this book is the appalling number of typos throughout the book. Was the proofreader on vacation that week? I read another review of the book right before I started reading it for myself, and commented to the reviewer that I thought typos were as much a part of the "pulp experience" as anything else. Now that i.e. Seen the vast number of typos in the book, I want to erase that comment. This definitely goes above and beyond, and not in a good way. It's a shame, too, because they detract from what is otherwise a great, thrilling read. I still highly recommend the book, but now I must do so with the caveat that if you are one of those people for whom typos are a veritable scourge, you should probably stay away from this one, for the sake of your sanity.
Ron Fortier has a knack for writing books that resurrect old pulp characters, like the classic superhero CAPTAIN HAZZARD, and for creating “new pulp” novels that feature characters of his own creation, like the World War I ace and spy NIGHT HAWK and the noir-flavored supernatural avenger BROTHER BONES. Like many of Fortier’s books, BROTHER BONES features a great pulp-inspired cover painting and interior artwork by his partner at the fast-growing Airship 27 Productions company, Rob Davis. Unlike some of Fortier’s books, this one is a collection of stories rather than a novel. They start with one that introduces the violent, gang and monster-filled city of Cape Noire and explains the origin of the title character, a monk who returns from the dead to bring often bloody justice to villains who deserve it. Each of the following stories is a self-contained yarn with interesting good and bad guys (and girls) and a plot that ends with an intercession by Brother Bones. It’s fun, fast-paced pulpy reading. If you like old pulp magazine stories or the type of new pulp stories and novels that Fortier has helped pioneer, you should enjoy BROTHER BONES. I definitely did.
