Curtis : A Novelette
From the author of "Family" and "Higher Learning" comes a dark, satirical novelette about why certain thoughts of others should never be explored...and how certain people should stay unborn.
Terrance Alvo is a clinical psychologist. He has dedicated his time on Earth to helping patients cope with the stressors of everyday living, and is always seeking to learn more about the intricacies of human behavior.
He also happens to be a complete sociopath who has struggled to find a definitive answer for why he hasn't joined the ranks of the most despicable serial killers known to man. After settling for the possibility that headlining the episode of a true crime podcast might not be in his future, Dr.Alvo shifts his focus in a different direction...in a darker direction...towards understanding and honing the brain of a seventeen year old boy named Curtis Ellway.
WARNING - This story deals with depraved and depressing subject matter. Some may find the narration offensive. There is heavy use of profanity, scenes of violence towards fictional characters, and sparse but graphic descriptions of animal cruelty. The author's personal beliefs on therapy differ from that which is displayed through the narrative. He does not share any beliefs with the characters. This is a piece of horror fiction, and should be viewed as nothing more. Thank you.

My first story by this author, and...DAMN! Violent, dark, and seriously creepy! Not sure what else to say here, other than if you’re a fan of horror and dark fiction and haven’t read Syon Das, you need to change that. NOW! Very much recommend this one, just be ready...like I said, it gets dark fast!
Can’t wait to read another one by the author!
