I feel there's two separate short stories here, that LaRocca has tried to combine - meaning that the final meeting of these strands falls flat. Of the two, the supernatural horror of Mr Crowley drew me in further and was much more tense. (yes, homophobia and violent rape is very scary, but Mr Crowley
has a god in his basement and brainwashes people
)
No idea why I keep reading his work. Sometimes, a short story really clicks for me so I keep returning, in hope.

A fast-paced supernatural mystery that will leave you begging for mercy. Not only will you feel sorrow, you can feel the slash of the knife. While you witness some truly horrific events in this story, most are not so far fetched as to be unbelievable. You feel for every person you meet and the evil lurking is both ethereal and too real! With any luck, you might finish unscathed.
