ED
Award winning horror writer and director Chris Sun has written his first book.
Ed Gein was like a horrific road accident, a man whose crimes were so depraved and macabre you just couldn't look away. He became the classic horror icon for such fictional characters as Norman Bates, Leatherface and Buffalo Bill. Regardless of the notoriety, nobody would ever really understand Gein like Larry.
Ed was an artist and Larry understood what inspired him. Larry saw the same thing when he looked at human skin, the seductive promise of screaming and pain, the raw unadulterated feeling of power. Unlike Ed Gein who robbed graves for his prize, Larry took pleasure in a warm, living body bleeding into his hands. He took all that pain and terror and turned it into beauty. Just like Ed, Larry took a fucked up world and made it something more.
Nobody could stop him, he held all the power. It didn't matter if you were man, woman, young, old, pretty, ugly, skinny or fat. If you were living and breathing, you were potential art.

WOW what an amazing story this is.....It's not the type of book that I would normally read.... but I was gifted a copy to read for an honest view.... and if you don't put yourself outside you comfort zone then you don't know what you are missing out on..... I stress it is not a book for everybody..... If you like spine tingling horror books with lots of gore then you certainly won't be disappointed....there are twists and turns that you won't see coming....... and will definitely scare the crap out of you....... This is a fantastic first novel by Chris and I look forward to seeing what he comes up with in his follow up book........
