THE FURY OF BLACKY JAGUAR was easily one of the best novellas I read in 2015. Angel Luis Colon has created a kickass character who is the kind of guy you’d want on your side in a fight, but somebody you would never want as an enemy. This book is a true page-turner—fast-paced, violent and intense.
When I heard that Blacky was making a special appearance in the upcoming “Cruel Yule” edition of Thuglit, I asked Angel to create a playlist of songs that Blacky would love. The results are up above.
Here’s what Angel had to say about the new Blacky Jaguar short story, A Very Blacky Christmas: “After busting heads and making mistakes in THE FURY OF BLACKY JAGUAR, our titular hero finds himself down south in a town called Christmas. Trying to make an honest buck, the holidays go a little sour when Blacky runs afoul of the most feared woman in town: Krissy Kringle.”
S.W. Lauden’s debut novel, BAD CITIZEN CORPORATION, is available now from Rare Bird Books. His novella, CROSSWISE, will be published by Down & Out Books in 2016.
