IT NEVER RAINS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. WHEN IT DOES IT POURS. THIS TIME IT'S BLOOD. In a quiet, Southern California residential neighborhood, in a basement converted into a dungeon of depravity, victims are starved, tortured, defiled & dismembered... "Great book. Dark--yes. Grotesque--certainly. Sexually explicit--without a doubt. And the writing is excellent. Character development & dialogue, is as real as it gets. A terrifying, non-putdownable horror." –Jeff Bennington, Kindle Book Review
Kirk Alex’s stories & poems have appeared on internet sites such as: http://scars.tv/cgi-bin/framesmain.pl..., schlock.co.uk., www.fictionontheweb.co.uk, https://literallystories2014.com, et al. His horror novel Lustmord: Anatomy of a Serial Butcher was a finalist in the Kindle Book Review’s Best Book Awards of 2014. He is also the author of the 4-volume Edgar “Doc” Holiday thriller series, the multi-volume Chance “Cash” Register blue-collar/working stiff series, and a few other novels and story collections, as well as several volumes of free verse.
At first the story was interesting, the first half I gave 5 stars but it is just too focused on sex- sexual battery- and torture. I have had to read it in a few chapters at a time, it's overly morbid. There are acts of murder, but it slowly became more porn then story. I also found discrepancies in where the characters were, this is not sci-fi so it's hard to go from here to there or take a shower when your audience has followed along, and there was no opportunity. If you are into porn and sado-masocistic actions, then you will enjoy this. Way too much sexual violence, kills what was at the start solid, became a nauseating ooze of sick crimes against mostly women.
Strong content. Kirk Alex wrote a great novel about a serial killer that made you want to read to the end to see if the killer lived to kill another day.
