Victim
It was meant to be a night of new beginnings, instead it was a massacre… The night Chloe Fox met her fiancé’s parents for the first time was the night her life changed forever. Instead of a quiet night in getting to know her future in-laws, she ended up the sole survivor of a grisly home invasion.
Now, one year on, Chloe is getting her life back together, the events of that fateful night no more than a horrific memory. She even has a new boyfriend who has asked her to marry him.
But Chloe’s dark past is about to catch up with her. She thought the killer was dead. She was wrong. He’s back to finish what he started.
He’s back for the girl that got away…
This in an extreme horror novel with a shocking twist. It contains strong scenes of violence, sex and gore and is not recommended for readers who are easily offended.

This turned out to be a shopping list story for me - WTF do you mean, Mort?!
We'll, let's say my wife is going shopping and I give her a list of things to get me. When she comes back, everything I asked for is there, and that's just fine. But if she wants to surprise me, she'll throw in a candy bar or cupcake or whatever, which makes it special - a nice surprise, if you will.
And that's the thing - this story had everything it should, the writing was good, all the elements were there, but it didn't surprise me at all, which was disappointing.
So, if you want to read a straight forward extreme horror, this one is okay.
However - on a personal level - there were two things that bothered me.
The first is not something I can elaborate on or I must slap a spoiler alert on this, but how fucking big is this woman's handbag.
The second thing, and excuse me if I'm being over critical, this is just my personal opinion;
At about 30%, the way the story was written, this story could have veered in a very different direction from what the reader expects. You know, the kind of misdirection that made GONE GIRL so great, where you become convinced about something and then find out you were completely wrong. By 50%, however, I could have predicted about 90% of what will happen from there.
So, I feel the author missed a trick here, and it left me disappointed in a story that was not bad.
Am I just full of shit?

This was just ok for me. Chloe, our lead, of sorts, was an interesting character, but a lot of the needed depth and development for her character was sacrificed for body horror. A great deal of the book was focused on the traditional tie'm up and torture'm aspect, which is something that I'm not necessarily a huge fan of. Especially when nothing new is brought to the table, which this did not do. The most interesting part of this story was how it was like a story within a story, but you could figure everything out very quickly, so the eventual big reveal didn't have the desired impact. Lots of gore and sex, which is usually fine, but was overdone here, especially the sexual content. I think that the pacing and overall flow were fine, and even the premise was good, but it was just some of the creative directions were questionable. I'm not averse to extreme horror, but certain concepts have been done to death, desperately needing to be refreshed. This had the opportunity to go in some really interesting directions, but chose to lean heavily on the normal lore for this subgenre of horror. I would recommend checking out At Night and Unseen for better outings from Sam West.

A very predictable novel.
Enjoyed the gory aspects, but I did not enjoy it as much as Sam’s other novels.

The first thing I’m going to say in this review is to heed the warnings in the blurb. Victim: An Extreme Horror Novel is extremely violent and contains scenes that might disturb some readers. The violent scenes are very graphic and some include sexual violence. Seriously, don’t pick this book up if those types of scenes bother you. If you’re a horror reader, you’ll enjoy it. If not, do the author a favor and read another book.
With that being said –
Greg and Chloe seem to be a happy enough couple. They’ve only been together for 5 months but he’s already asked her to marry him. They met, fell in love quick, and decided to make their commitment a permanent one. Greg doesn’t know a lot about Chloe’s past but he knows enough. Chloe experienced something horrific a year prior but he’s not aware of all the details.
One day Chloe leaves her diary out in the open while she takes a shower. Greg, being curious, opens it and starts reading. He knows he shouldn’t but the first page tells him that if he keeps reading he’ll finally find out what happened that night when her former fiancé Scott and his parents were killed in front of her. What he gets is a detailed and disturbing account of the events. By the time he’s caught reading the diary by his fiancée he’s sorry he ever turned the first page. Instead of being angry, Chloe encourages him to keep reading. Chloe is an extreme horror author and her therapist supposedly encouraged her to write down the events of the tragedy for therapeutic purposes. What Greg is reading looks like a fictional account of what transpired, almost like one of her horror novels. By the time he reaches the end he’s sickened by what Chloe experienced that night. She was the only survivor of the attack.
After Greg reads the diary things start to get weird. He loves Chloe but he’s so disturbed by what he read that he’s having a hard time coming to terms with it. Not necessarily with what happened – he gets that it was a horrible thing for her to experience – but by Chloe herself. She seems… off. Or maybe it’s just his imagination and he’s seeing things that aren’t there. Either way he’s spooked. It doesn’t help that Chloe is starting to receive threatening messages from either the man who killed Scott and his family or a copycat. Surely the killer died that night? Or maybe he didn’t. Greg just knows that he’s not only scared for Chloe but for himself as well. When things start happening in the coming days that spook Greg even more he starts to question everything he knows about the woman he loves. Or maybe he’s just losing his mind? You’ll have to read the story to find out.
There are other characters introduced who are also important but anything I say about them will give the story away.
Before this one, I’ve read one story by Sam West, Djinn: An Extreme Horror Novel, another extreme horror novel. I’ve been reading horror since I was way too young to be doing it, but Djinn: An Extreme Horror Novel is the only book to ever truly gross me out. I obviously enjoyed it, but it was a bit more hardcore than Victim: An Extreme Horror Novel. It needs to be stressed again that this book will not be for everybody. Don’t go into it looking for a mild story or a romance.
Overall, another very good story by Sam West. I cringed a few times and I admit to being nervous about turning the page a time or two. While I can’t say I completely saw the ending coming, I had an idea of how the story would play out and I was correct. Don’t take that to mean it was predictable. It definitely wasn’t. There’s a nice twist thrown in that also added to the story. There’s a lot more I could say about this book but it would all be too telling so I’ll stop here.
Highly recommended if you’re a fan of horror and don’t mind all the warnings I’ve thrown out in this review.

Meta novel about an extreme horror author named Sam West. Is her dark writing a way of coping with trauma, or is she as sick and twisted as her characters? A very intriguing idea to explore within your own fiction. Very brave and provocative. Loved it.
Great twist near the end!

This was a very good splatterpunk horror novel. So why 4 stars?
First of all it really flies by. I've read like 60 pages in one hour and the remaining ones in two other sittings.
I am going to talk a bit about the novel but there are some minor spoilers you shouldn't read past this - although let me just say that it's a nice extreme novel with plenty of gore and fast pace. Loved the ending.
We are introduced to a bloke who is dating this amazing woman, great tits, writer & contortionist. Everyone's wet dream, right? Then he starts reading her journal about her past existence and wet to learn that she has been through a lot. A lot lot. Like abused and people killed and other fuckery stuff. The problem or spider sense is that the way she talks about it it's almost like it was another extreme book written by her and not her personal recollection. The way it was written was like a book not a journal. Even so, the guy is dumb and keeps it going. You've heard it. It's red flags. So many red flags you would think you are in north korean parade!
Alas, people are dumb, tits are great and so we move on... and wicked stuff happens.
At page 67 we get the hint - well another flag - and we know that everything she said is a lie. If I know , man that guy should have known. What we do fortits love. I kid I know that when we are in love (man or woman) we will only see green flags or at most yellow ones.
That disappointed me. To know so early on, it was spot on. We already had hints but then we can, you are blind my friend. More blind than a toupeira Oh well..
I loved the gory parts, the sexy parts the not so sexy depraved parts and I love the ending. Horror Writers, please from time to time end with the death of our good guy/main protagonist. We need it. I will some more books from sam west.
Ah that's another stuff... so our girl has a name and writes under a pseudonym Sam West which is our writer. SOOOOOOOOOO, what closets should I go check? I love how she is depicted almost perfect body and broken mind - probably as Sam West (?) who knows since I never seen her haha. But it would be cool she had a good p... and was a contortionist. Yeah couldn't find anything related to Lucinda Laye. OH well , worth the try :D
Keep them coming Sam.

Summary: Chloe Fox survives a brutal home invasion that kills her fiancé’s family and changes her life forever. A year later, as she rebuilds and prepares to marry again, she discovers the killer she believed dead is alive - and has returned to finish the job.
Review: A nightmare from start to finish - absolutely brilliant extreme horror. Gory, brutal, and genuinely terrifying long after the final page.

I can't say that this is my favorite San West story. I did figure out the twist too soon, but only because the author warned of a twist in the About this book section. It was still okay, but reading the same story twice wasn't my cup of tea. It did slightly change the second go around, but not by much. The violence and sex was still fun though. Of course it was. It's a West book

This was a great story and some twists along the way. The char development was believable. Gore and sexuality. Cracks me up the char in the book writes extreme horror books and uses the pen name Sam west!!! Hahaha

The contortions thing was pretty cool
December 8, 2025
“Please…” I began, then instantly clamped my mouth shut. When my characters started saying ‘please’ to the killer they were as good as dead.
Chloe Fox was a beautiful young woman, a contortionist who could bend and fold herself into any shape or size imaginable. Blessed with this talent, she turned to BDSM photography, something she was extremely gifted and she sought after for. After settling aside from this, she was in a loving and committed relationship with Scott Jones, until she discovered the one night stand he had. Now, meeting his parents for the first time sparked an opportunity for her, where she would leave the mother, the father and the son all deceased. Stabbing his mother through the heart with a corkscrew, she drug the body in front of her family and skinned her back before completion of an orgasm. Shooting Scott in the shin left him bleeding out on the floor before she turned her attention to his father. Forcing him to perform oral on her before beating his face and head in, she poured petrol everywhere before setting them ablaze while alive. Fast forward a few years, and she found herself engaged after only six months to Greg Larson, someone she truly thought would never wrong her.
“Gnash, gnash, here I come.” She barked at him like a dog, and clamped the handle of the knife between her teeth. In one graceful movement, she bent all the way back until she was in the shape of ‘the crab’. But being Chloe, she was able to scuttle like one too, and she ran towards him on her hands and feet, her face upside- down with the knife between her teeth. For a fleeting second he thought of the film, ‘The Exorcist’ where the little girl ran down the stairs in much the same, fucked- up shape. Sweet Jesus.
With their engagement weighting heavily on him, it would only intensify when she accidentally left her diary out in the open. Tempting him to delve in and see for himself the horrors she faced that night, he was surprised how relaxed and accepting she was when she found him a few pages in. Convincing him to finish it, he would oblige but it'll change the way he thinks about her. Writing it in the forms of one of her novels, she was pen named under Sam West as she explored the deeply deviant side of splatterpunk genre. Hiding the truth of that night beneath the lie of a home invader, he couldn't remove the doubts that night didn't go as she claimed. Confiding these feelings in the receptionist at his job; Susan Armstrong, she also held doubts to the credibility of her story. Admitting her developing feelings for him and even exchanging a kiss, is what would lead to his own family being slaughtered a few days later. Not realizing Chloe saw it all, he returned home to her where she acted ignorant to the betrayal. Meeting his family that Saturday, she lied and told him she was instead meeting police to report the horrible messages she had been receiving. Instead, it was to return to where she was holding Susna captive to finish the rape, torture and murder of her. Slicing her head from her body, she packed it along with plans to frame Greg for the horrid crimes. Forcing his to anally rape her, he was powerless after watching both his parents be killed to stop her. Luckily, a neighbor overheard notified authorities to his parent's home. Now, its been a little over a month since he last saw her, but she never planned to stay hidden forever. When a note and diary was slid through his mail slot, he saw first hand the monster she was with her first fiance and later onto him. Vowing they'll be together again, she stabbed him repeatedly before slashing her own wrists. Bleeding out beside him on his living room floor, he was dead before police finally made it through his locked front door.
I’m coming for you, bitch. Gonna slice you up, like I did the cunting Jones’ family.

Completely predictable
This was so predictable right from page 1 that it was barely worth the few hours it took to read.
An absolute litany of errors also starting right from page 1. The basic mistake of using of instead of have just made me irritable to be honest. "She would of", just no! Self published or not this author needs to at least get someone to read through before publishing. I would have been more inclined to ignore all the mistakes if the story had been worth it. A serious letdown and waste of time.
Do not recommend.

Sweet young lady is engaged to be married to Greg, the man who proposed after only four months. She carries a lot of baggage, though. Her former fiance, Scott, and his family were horribly murdered, and her therapist told her it would be good for her to write her feelings about that in a journal. Greg
sees her journal and peeks at it. You will never believe what happens next.
Another enjoyable Sam West novel.

Too gory
Don't think this is for. Was curious but just not my cup of tea. The descriptive gore is way out of my comfort zone

This was average still a good read but ive read better books from this author the ending didn’t wrap it up good enough
June 28, 2016
I wanted at least the barest of reasons for why the killer does what they do and how they do it. This is definitely a campy story, so the reasons aren’t as important, at least.
I wasn’t terribly happy with the fact that a couple of the major female figures are of the trap-setting passive-aggressive female stereotype. It could have been a little less in-your-face, or at least restricted to Chloe. Chloe is apparently a contortionist and knows how to do some very unsettling things because of it.
Other than that, this is a funny, grotesque, bloody good time. Also, that killer is craaaazy!

I absolutely adored this latest offering from Sam West.
From the first page, we are taken on a journey into the screwed up mind of Chloe Fox. Not as gruesome as West's previous books, this story has more going for it than the usual fayre of blood and mindless violence. I found myself actually rooting for the 'bad guy', so twisted is this story.
I am excited to see what Sam West follows this up with.

I loved it but if you are easily offended this isn't for you. Chloe is a beautiful woman a horror writer who lives out her stories in real life. She is a very damaged person and the story was excellent. Really gave me the hee bee jeebies.

The author very kindly gave me a copy of this to read. Another very good book by Sam West. Fast-paced and gory, just as we would expect! Had a lot of fun with this one.
