Krackerjack 2
Ever wondered what would happen if a celebrity faked their own death and decided they had changed their minds?
Two years ago publicly shunned comedian Diddy Dave Diamond convinced the nation that he was dead only to return from beyond the grave to seek retribution on those who ruined his career and tainted his legacy.
Innocent or not only one person survived Diddy Dave Diamond's last ever game show, but the forfeit prize was imprisonment for similar alleged crimes.
Prison is not kind to inmates with those type of convictions and as the sole survivor finds out, but there's a sudden glimmer of hope.
Someone has surfaced in the public eye claiming to be the dead comedian.

I liked this one almost as much as the first one, but I cant really get into the details without giving away spoilers of the first story.
So, yes, it does turn up the extreme and, yes, there is a small twist at the end, but it didn't have the impact of the first one.
Read them in order.
Just as an afterthought he uses the reference of the prisoner thinking he is Charles Bronson. For those outside the UK, you are probably thinking about the movie actor of the DEATH WISH franchise.
You are wrong. The reference is to a prisoner who has been dubbed the most violent prisoner in Britain. There's some interesting reading about him out there, for those true crime addicts.
I really liked these two stories and will be looking for more by this author.

YUCK!
X-RATED gross-out short story of revenge.
NOT. FOR. ME.

Diddy Dave Diamond is back in this excellent sequel.
It starts at a brutal rate and ends even more brutally. However, there is still plenty of time dedicated to exploring the depth of character, particularly in Dave who is funny throughout, despite the situations he encounters. The games are well conceived and more elaborate than the first book, taking it to another level of sickness (at one point, the main protagonist sits down to enjoy a cheese and pickle sandwich while the brutality is in full swing).
The story is very well written and the pace moves along nicely throughout. Excellent work again from Matthew Cash.

I was a beta reading for Matthew Cash. The first few pages started off slow, but soon they picked up. My eyes were glued to the story, just like I was with the first one. This was a great short story by Matthew Cash. Its worth checking out.

A grisly tale of revenge for revenge. As engrossing and horrifying as the first installment and rather satisfying closure. A 'kracking' sequel.

Even better than the first!
