My Summer Lair Chapter #19: What Is Your Favourite Dance Movie?
Actually before we get into a Dance Dance Revolution let’s start at the beginning. I first met the talented and articulate Evan Munday via his comic: The Amazing Challengers of Unknown Mystery. Who are they you may ask? Why they are “Waterloo’s Greatest Superhero Team!” Amazing!
To invest in talent by buying their product is to recognize potential. Evan’s next project did not disappoint: Quarter-Life Crisis is tale of hardship and friendship set in a post-apocalyptic Toronto. What? Yo…
Then in 2011 Evan issued The Dead Kid Detective Agency. A spirited YA novel about a goth loner who friends…the ghosts of five dead teenagers? Yup…and all kinds of audacious Scooby-Doo adventures begin.
The third book Loyalist to a Fault is out now and is attractively armed with all kinds of pirate mayhem.
The Dead Kid Detective Agency books (there will be 7 in total) are witty, sarcastic, crammed with Canadian history, ghosts, mysteries, a cemetery, a plethora of pop culture references…rollicking tales wrapped in modern pulp…galvanized Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew for youths (and big boys like me!). Highly recommended!
Oh…and as for the dance movies? Yes…we dive deep into Evan’s ongoing dance movie obsession (his word!). Cracks me up how well he owns that.
