"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

Room 6 at the Lonely Motel. A womb. A tomb.

This book is a hilarious satire akin to American Psycho. Through the eyes of Winifred Notty, "the perfect Victorian governess," we are voyeurs privy to the going-ons in the vile, privileged household of the Pounds family. The narrator is a psychopath ...more
