Flayed Sins

by Ian Woodhead

From a young age, Selma Feist was abused, humiliated and bullied. Would this emotional and physical torture define her existence or would there ever be a light at the end of this tunnel?

If there was then perhaps it was a bright blue light? An unknown entity silently promising her revenge on everybody who had ever done her harm―for a price.

Naturally.


Talking about “Flayed Sins” Ian said: ‘This story is about the grey lines between revenge, retribution and justice. As well as the consequences of every action you take throughout your life. There’s enough ambiguity there for a dozen EastEnders episodes ha ha!’ And of Selma herself: ‘She finds herself in the middle of a Twilight Zone like-story and instead of applying rational reasoning, she allows her emotions to take the reins. Not her best idea...’

Reviews

[Angela Maher · Rating 3 out of 5]

Brutal revenge abounds in this book. A really interesting concept, but it feels a little disjointed, and the ending made me confused as to how old the main character was supposed to be. Also needed better copy editing.
