Everyman by David Bright tells the story of a man who has come to the stark realization that he is completely fed up with his mundane lifestyle which he feels has been forced upon him by a vain and shallow society. Accepting that his life and those of everyone else is meaningless, he decides to put an end to it all. What follows is an account of one man's most primal instinct run amok and the terror he unleashes on everyone caught in his sights.

Due to the nature of this story, the violence contained is quite graphic and shocking especially for readers not used to encountering such visceral description. But the power of this story is in its raw and brutal telling as it takes you deep into the mind of a psychopath and the horrifying journey he embarks all the way to its riveting conclusion.

This is an engrossing tale that literally holds you captive through every page. I highly recommend this story to readers who have wondered what makes a killer tick.

4 Stars.

This was an excellent short story. The author is quite talented and I'll search for more of his work.

Wow. Very exciting, gory and nihilistic short read, with a clever and ambiguous ending.
