There’s the full color art, the decorative black and white edging on each page and the little note at the beginning that points out that this soft cover was hand bound just for us readers. And, of course, there’s a story here too.

A homage to Howard Stern, not as a shock jock, but as a warrior for free speech against the censoring forces of the FCC, 1200 AM Live’s star is the mysterious underground radio personality, Andy Crow. But it’s main player is Joe, a rent-a-cop who gets caught up in one hell of a night just by giving into his boredom.

Neither plays is what one would call a “good guy” though the twists of story shift the hero through the story. A face paced, easy read 1200 AM Live is fun, well written and one more reason why the novella is quickly becoming a blog favorite.
