The Thrillville Pulp Fiction Collection is a series of "double features" reprinting the best work of underground literary legend Will Viharo in definitive editions.
Volume One A Mermaid Drowns in the Midnight Lounge and Freaks That Carry Your Luggage Up to the Room is the literary equivalent of a classic "grindhouse" bill twin erotic fever dreams exploding with malevolent monsters, sexy sirens, gruesome gangsters, zeitgeist zombies, dreamy decadence, hipster hedonism, voluptuous violence, nightmarish nihilism, sensuous surrealism, pop culture potpourri, and much, much more. They are like nothing you've ever experienced.

Will Viharo’s The Thrillville Pulp Fiction Collection Volume One is the freshest, most unique thing I have read in quite some time. It contains two full-length novels in the one volume: A Mermaid Drowns in the Midnight Lounge and Freaks that Carry Your Luggage Up to the Room.Both installments are told with flowing authority by Viharo. The chapters are short, interesting, move the plot forward, and hold your interest. The story flows so well, you just don’t want to put this one down.
A Mermaid Drowns in the Midnight Lounge is the first entry. Nick is an entertainment personality who works at The Oasis Theater introducing grindhouse-style retro cinema. Dolores is a waitress at The Moonlight Lounge next door. As I read the early chapters of this novel, I put together an understanding of what was going on: one chapter was the grindhouse-style novel that Nick was writing about him and Dolores—an exciting page turner with plenty of action, sex, and violence. The alternating chapters were about him and Dolores interacting in real life outside of his imagined fiction. As I got deeper into the story it became clear that this tale is far more complex than that. What is presumed to be imagined, dreamed, nightmarish and what is considered reality are not quite what they seem. Viharo’s prose and the characters already had me hooked, so I hung on for a wild ride and experienced compelling fiction that takes some unique twists and turns.
The second entry is The Freaks that Carry Luggage Up to the Room. If A Mermaid Drowns had one foot tentatively resting in reality, The Freaks is fully plunged in the type of B-movie, grindhouse, pulp classic that Nick would have been showing at The Oasis Theater. You are fully in the “film” in this one. I don’t want to give anything away with this one, but will say that if you love the old grindhouse classics, you will love this. It’s fast paced, bizarre, and you truly cannot anticipate what will happen in the next sentence. Vic Valentine and Chumpy Walnut are introduced – characters that I understand appear in other volumes in the collection. There’s voodoo, vampires, Mexican porn stars – you name it. Not since The Castle of Otranto in British Lit class have I encountered such a bizarre yet entertaining fictional world.
Highly recommended. Do not let this one pass you by unread. Viharo’s imagination is unique, his style is impeccable, and the stories are just one pure (if bizarre) joy to read. I’m already looking forward to the next installment.

The Thrillville Pulp Fiction Collection Volume One A Mermaid Drowns in the Midnight Lounge/Freaks That Carry Your Luggage Up to the Room edition by Will Viharo Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I've been trying to write a review of this book for a while now, and failing. Failing because basically, I'm trying to write a review that's just as awesome and the book is, and that's probably just not going to happen.The most difficult part of reviewing a book by Will Viharo is "where to start?" Viharo is the distillation of more artistic and pop culture influences than I can being to list, but it's pretty obvious Will's getting signal from Elvis, Sinatra, Raymond Chandler, Kurt Vonnegut, Edgar Allan Poe, David Lynch, every low-rent B-movie impresario who ever shot a drive-in/grindhouse epic, and on and on. It seems like a freeway collision of influences, but somehow it all comes together in a unique, individual voice.
The first part of this volume, "A Mermaid Drowns in the Midnight Lounge" is a fever dream of a tale in which Nick, a writer falls for Dolores, a cocktail waitress in what starts out looking like a straight crime novel, but quickly morphs into something altogether different. And accidental shooting sends Nick and Dolores on the lam. They become separated and their realities begin to shift with Nick stuck in what seems to be the real world (although he's quickly turning into The Hideous Sun Demon), and Dolores consumed into a world where werewolves, zombies, and Elvis' still living twin brother Jesse are the norm. Or is Nick's world the fantasy, and Dolores' world the reality? Or are the both something different altogether? What we get are multiple plotlines, intruding narrators, and a fascinating story from start to finish. The truth is, every shifting reality is so compelling and captivating, that the reader would easily be willing to follow each individual thread to the end of the book (or three!). But don't worry. Viharo brings all of the shifting realities together to a satisfying conclusion before the book's end.
The second portion of the book is Viharo's bizarro fiction "Freaks That Carry You Luggage Up to The Room". A Mexican movie actress who's actually a vampire checks in at L'Hotel du Frisson where the staff and guests are all a little shady. She quickly beds and turns Danny the desk clerk who's on the lam from the mob. And from their we descend into a porn/bizarro epic of love, lust, and loneliness as only Viharo writes. Throw in an evil dwarf, an over-sexed zombie, a sex-driven werewolf, more zombies, Dr. Frankenstein antics, and more. It's a heady, erotic mix unlike anything you're likely to have read before. Unless, of course, you read lots of bizarro fiction. The only drawback, and the only reason I give this volume of "The Thrillville Pulp Collection" four stars instead of five is that "Freaks" just seems to drag on a bit too long for its own good. While "A Mermaid Drowns..." is lengthy, Viharo always manages to throw in a new twist to keep you flipping pages. "Freaks..." on the other hand, seems to go on long past the point where the reader says "Okay, got it.". It's a fun, twisted read, just more, perhaps, than necessary.
Will Viharo is a terrific writer, as anyone who has read his classic neo-Chandler crime novel, "Love Stories Are Too Violent for Me", will attest, and this first volume of his collected works is highly recommended to anyone who loves all those things I mentioned at the start. Or basically,
The Thrillville Pulp Fiction Collection Volume One is highly recommended to anyone who enjoys a terrific, page-turning read. This is great stuff.
