"F***ed up, but in a brilliant way. John Raptor is hardcore rural horror, not for the beginner or the squeamish, but very creative and emotionally affecting nonetheless. For people into the dark stuff, but with a hell of a lot of talent and heart, he's your man." -- Amazon review

Everyone who is a horror fan needs to read this novella! It's powerful. I can't quite describe the writing style, only to say that this text breathes. It is a dark, feral thing. I can feel the humidity and stench of raw meat radiating off of it.
