- The short novella is fun, filled with contemporary references, and is a quick, fast moving romp that is sure to entertain.
The Pineys: Book 1: My Cousin, the Piney
The Pineys: Book 1 tells the tale of Lewis, a professional gambler who finds himself in a small town in New Jersey, seeking fuel. He soon discovers that the locals are a rambunctious bunch, and that they have an intricate knowledge of the local devils, whom they have been battling for years. He joins in their efforts, though not without rubbing a few people the wrong way.
The Pineys: Book 1, laced with exclamation marks and bold typeface, feels more akin to a comic book than a novel. One can’t help but constantly envision the different scenes that are created thanks to DiGerolamo’s imagery and dialogue, which works well to immerse the reader in what feels like, a real version of Jersey.
There are some grammatical and spelling errors that could use some finesse, but it does not impact the story to be of much relevance. Definitely not a serious read, the short novella is fun, filled with contemporary references, and is a quick, fast moving romp that is sure to entertain.
His novels, Fix in Overtime and The Undercover Dragon are available through Padwolf Publishing.
He is the writer for F*ck You, I’m Italian: Why We Italians Are Awesome, from Ulysses Press. His current project is a comedy/horror novella series about the hunters of the kin of the Jersey Devil called The Pineys.
