Killer Tease

Review by: Alan Kelly
Author: Danny Hogan

It’s hardly a surprise that Miramax looked at the buying options for Danny Hogan’s brazen novella Killer Tease. At a mere 23,000 words, this little book would make the perfect template for a film. A compact little book which is guaranteed to never let your attention waver.

Killer Tease has as its center-piece Eloise Murphy. She isn’t pleasant, she is a down and dirty dangerous woman whose been pissed off once to often. This slim little book should be handed out as a how-to-crush-a-potential-rapists-nuts-manual to every naive 16 year old girl (and boy!) – Eloise is a burlesque star at a sleazy seaside resort until a punter chances his arm and near loses it. Shortly thereafter Eloise is exiting stage left, blackmailed into working for a ferrety pimp who happens to have in his possession some unsavory pictures from her past, she inexorably drawn into a trafficking racket.
