Anyway, the hapless ol' Elmo just quits feeding because of guilt and/or world weariness after WWIII and finally just wastes away. His sidekicks are the real creeps, first the sociopathic Lemuel, then the English professor, and and finally the truly scary psychopathic arson-cannibal Jeff. There is a really weird interlude about vampire rodeo cowboys that almost seems like an unfinished short story that Wright tried to incorporate.
Well written if a little repetitive, there is a kind of second verse same as the first that keeps popping up as Wright tries to drill us into Elmo's psyche but it seems a little padded and unnecessary. Wright's insight into, and his development of, this character is what gives the novel its finer qualities. The book really ends up as a pretty poignant character study of a really luckless and depressed guy that Wright would have been better off sticking to.
A nice little book though.
I know Leisure Books/Dorchester really fell into some shady areas and treated its authors poorly but they sure did publish some good stuff in their time. ( )
