Anyone who is willing to throw the attack on the Twin Towers and baby tentacle-rape at the reader in the friggin prologue has to!") and even gives a shout-out to an older story of mine called "The Garbage Eaters"... - CHECK IT OUT!

3/18/2010 - Another wonderful review of Twelve Little Hitlers!
"...a one-man opiate, psychedelic and alcohol binge unparalleled in the history of the planet. Carr’s writing style takes a little getting used to, but once you’re in, you’re in."  - Check it out!

2/6/2010 -"Hiram Grange and the Twelve Little Hitlers is a kinetic tour de force... I can’t say enough about the writing style in this book. It’s descriptive and poetic, hard-hitting and emotional... The world is painted in wild, but controlled strokes." - Check out Nancy O. Greene's wonderful review of my new novel! - http://www.darkrecesses.com/?p=1573

2-1-2010 -Book reviews that MEAN something---My father reviews "12 Little Hitlers": "Finished Hiram Grange yesterday. Very cool book. You remind me of Tom Robbins with a sadistic, drug-fueled bent. What I really enjoyed was the perfect, intimate, and interesting detail crammed into almost every sentence. You have a perfect command of words, descriptions, and the pictures you paint are perfectly detailed and memorable. I've always thought the concept of letting the reader use his imagination was way overated. Instead, I believe a great novelist should be able to let the reader see exactly the images the writer sees. You've done that expertly. There are so many small passages that I thought were really clever (so many that readers may miss some i.e., when Jesus lies about tipping the pizza guy ). I can't wait to see your next effort. Love, Dad"

1/22/2010 - If you purchased a copy of The Nuke Brothers DVD and are here looking for the digital download of The Continuing Adventures of Fat Man and Little Boy... tie-in comic book---the comic will be available very soon (early next week). Thanks you so much for you patience :)

1/21/2010 - The "VISIONS OF THE FUTURE" scifi event in Tribecca, NYC tomorrow night is COMPLETELY SOLD OUT!! You may still show up and put your name on the Standby Waiting List, but unless you already purchased tix, it's not guaranteed that you will be able to get in. Good news to see such overwhelming interest in my work and the event (but bad news to have to turn people away at the door...)
