Product Description:
Cast adrift after the blood symphony of Penny Dreadful, Phineas Poe tracks Jude to San Francisco, where he finds her involved with John Ransom Miller, a wealthy sociopath aiding Jude s revenge fantasies in exchange for her complicity in an unspeakable crime. Alone and outgunned, Poe hopes he can save Jude from herself, make sense of his own past, and navigate the tortuous internal landscape he calls Hell s Half Acre.

how I love this book. Phineas pisses me off sometimes, but the story is really exciting. This is the final book in the series, and I just gotta say that I am very satisfied. I can't wait for more from Baer.

I struggled at times with Baer's very first novel. It was weird. I like weird, but it seemed to stumble sometimes. This one clicked like the divine. Baer takes his character from the very first and throws him basically into a whole new world. The undergrund subculture Baer creates has to be one of the most original things I've read in a long time.
I'd give it 5, but you could tell the the author held back, that he really could have exploded the book into something huge but felt constrained to make it fit into the noir crime fiction genre when it is obvious that it reall transended it.

All of WCBs books are fantastic, and this is the third. Really loved it.

Hell's Half Acre a truly wonderful novel, after what I believe was a bit of a sophmore slump with Penny Dreadful.
But I Hell's Half Acre, Baer seems to once again capture that non-urgent nihlist qualty that our man Phineas possesses. Poe is the ultimate nihlist because instead of preaching about the virtues or sitting around debating the philosophical implications, he simply lives it. Course I guess most Junkies are and do just that. Or in our case a Pseudo-Junkie.
Jude makes her return and we see that maybe, just maybe Jude isn't as tough as she thinks she is. And there is the possibility that she has finally gone over the deep end of sanity and likely isn't coming back, but instead falling deeper and deeper into the abyss of a psychological blackhole.
Hope this helped, probably didn't if you haven't read the 1st 2 novels. Thanks for reading.

Kiss Me, Judas was strangely compelling...odd, off-beat, uniquely different. The writing deftly conveyed the main character's dissociation, which helps explain his irrational behavior and pathological acceptance of the psychopaths around him. In Hell's Half Acre, the same approach continues, but it begins to wear thin. Will Phineas ever do anything rational, will he ever do anything interesting, will he ever stop descending into a meaningless, random walk of a pathetic loser in a psychotropic narrative? Unfortunately it appears not.
