Edward Smalls got the nickname Sawbones by cutting people up. For a bloke called Robert, who is Eastern European. Now, small time dope pusher Alfred Leonard wants Edward to star in a snuff film. With additional fuckery.
And everyone knows that Edward will turn his hand to most things if the price is right.
But Edward is not the luckiest guy on earth, and everything might just go disgustingly wrong.
Seven brothers. Seven Smalls. Graphic content. Consider this a trigger warning for just about everything.
SAWBONES: The Smalls Family Book 1 by Ash Ericmore
4 stars. Edward Smalls sat in a booth across from Alfred Leonard. The Leonards were big dope dealers in Birchingate...
And a family of morons...
According to Alfred, the Leonard crime family was branching out into Europe, and now they were getting into films...
He casually told Smalls the Germans wanted snuff porn, then sat there looking dull and stupid...
Leonard asked Smalls if he did snuff...
Smalls was pretty sure this idiot didn't even know what snuff was...
Smalls enlightened Leonard that snuff was murder on film. Smalls knew that if this moron gave those psychopaths the wrong thing, it wouldn't end well for him...
Nevertheless... Smalls agreed to do the job...
He sat outside a busy hospital looking for a woman or child. He would make this job a twofer...
He would rape, torture, and kill the victim, then sell her organs on the black market...
Let's just say Smalls was able to deliver on the twofer in a spectacular way...
I liked this short story so much that I've decided to read the rest of the series. If it weren't for the subject matter, this story would've been a little humorous. I wasn't sure if Leonard was the moron or if it was Smalls.
This was a great short read and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of smalls family read if this one is anything to go by. Fast paced, extreme gritty horror. Recommended
So yeah Sawbones. That happened. It was gloriously gruesome and laugh out loud funny. If I had to sum up an Ericmore story id only need one word. Smalls.
