R/T/M: Rape Torture Murder
This book is truly vile and should be destroyed. It is a piece of dark conjectural reality fiction written from the darkest possible perspective with the worst of possible intentions. It is not for the weak-hearted or weak-minded or people that have problems distinguishing between art and reality. Individuals predisposed to suicidal or homicidal urges should not read this book. Also individuals under the age of 18 should not read this book. Most people should not read this book. If you haven't been scared off yet, this is probably the worst book that you will ever read. Not that it is poorly written. It is well-written and grammatically sound. But reading this book may seriously cause lasting psychological damage to impressionable readers. You have been warned.

First clunker I've read in a while.
Definitely not as much violence as I was hoping for considering the title.
I had already lowered my expectations based on previous reviews but I'm finding it hard to even give it 1 star for effort.

Not what i expected. I got this book thinking is was gonna be a hardcore brutal murder story and i was totally wrong. R/T/M Is 95% sex 3% trying to get sex and 2% murder. And the murder isn't even cringe worthy. Not a fan

Buckle up and prepare for the ride if your life!
Sexually, graphically pleasing yet disgustingly vile. He paints the scenes a little too clear. So much so that it haunts you hours and hours after you have stopped reading it.
It’s hard hitting in how he setup the scenes one after the other.
I hope I can find another book similar to this one. It’s a MUST read!! Whew!!

R/T/M stands for Rape/Torture/Murder and it's all there and much of it is horribly disgusting. I ask myself, "Why would you even choose to read something so morally reprehensible?" The fact that I even have such conversations with myself may answer that question.
It all started when writer Kit Power gave me a collection of shorts called, Till Death Do Us Part, which I read and reviewed a few weeks ago. It's a good collection and worth checking out. The title story, "Till Death Do Us Part," was written by Sean Douglas. It was about a guy trying to rekindle a relationship with an old flame after the zombie apocalypse. I like it a lot.
As I often do after reading a new author, I check out his online presence. His description of himself on his Facebook page was priceless.
"Sean Douglas does not want to get to know you and isn't interested if you want to get to know him. He's not interested in coming to your town and making small talk with you or meeting your unattractive girlfriend. Sean Douglas is interested in writing books, smoking cigarettes, drinking coffee and not sleeping. Sean Douglas does not have any distinguishing scars or marks and where he lives is none of your (explitive deleted) business."
To make this long story just a bit longer, I offered to read his novel, R/T/M and provide a fair and honest review. So here we go.
R/T/M is not for everyone. It's not even for most people. I'm certain there is a segment of the reading public which will be drawn to this work, much the same way one's eyes are drawn to the accident scene where the emergency responders are using the Jaws of Life to extricate a body from the wreckage.
In the Foreward, Sean Douglas tells us how the book came about, how he had a friend no one would want to have as a friend and he told him he should write a book. What follows is the result.
In keeping with the protagonist's desire of anonymity, we don't have his name. We do know he lives in his parent's basement, but his parents are both dead, his mother from Cancer and his father from grief. The bulk of the story is about the various methods he uses over the years to lure women to his basement for sex, sometimes rape, occasionally torture and even murder.
The descriptions are explicit and often repetitive. I don't consider myself a prude, but I did find it all a bit much after a while.
Also, the work could use a good proofreading. With more than a few errors, I found it to be a little distracting.
Although, I can't really recommend R/T/M, if you want to check it out for yourself the work is Published by Burnt Offerings Books and is available as a paperback and ebook from Amazon.com.

This is well written but it isn't a horror novel - more like a full on porno novel with very little horror in it at all. It is rough and I wouldn't recommend it to sensitive readers but not because of any horrific content hiding between the covers.
