If you ever wondered what might be going on In the mind of a disturbed, twisted, psychotic murderer, this short story sums it up.

4.0

a lot of gore (please check warnings, some contains an infant), gratuitous at times but morbid curiosity meant I couldn't stop reading. Realistic horror story with images that will never leave your mind. I liked we didn't know much if anything about the main character, very detached and impossible to root for. The ending was definitely unexpected and jawdropping! Deeply disturbing, fast read if you can make it through.

I knew this would be brutal. I was never gonna be prepared enough though. It’s just a guy who goes out for a walk and gets his home ready for his girlfriend to move in. Nothing dodgy about that 🤢 . If you can get through to the 51% mark then you have my respect 🫡 it took a lot to keep going but I’m glad I did. That ending confused me big time though

dark fast-paced

2.0

This book follows the thoughts and actions of Guy Burress who is NOT a serial killer. Guy is trying to find his ultimate victim and can’t seem to track her down. In the meantime, he plays with others. This is an extremely dark, graphic, horror book with very graphic mutilation scenes. I felt like the book was just trying to be as dark and gory as possible just for the sake of it. The ending tried to be a twist but I just shrugged it off as being too silly. I almost didn’t understand what the twist was, so I had to re-read it a few times. Would not recommend this book.
