I couldn't put this down, read it in one go, was drawn in at the first page. Wow. This was not a light or mild read. This was a dark story with many characters that you could firmly put it the "bad to evil" section. But that doesn't sound completely right, because every character gets its own st...

A truly brilliant exciting and enthralling read that had me hooked from page one! There are some really unsavoury characters in a story that follows the lives of Arvin Russell, serial killers Carl and Sandy Henderson,and the ultimate evil in the form of preacher Preston Teagardin. The storyline and ...

Far too many author interview books feel so self-involved and seem to serve only the authors themselves. This one is different. Authors talk about writing in a way that downplays their own work in a refreshing way. In fact, the actual interviewer isn't even disclosed (simply referred to as The Goat)...
