A tear bubbled and fell from his twelve-year-old eyelashes, gathering in the indent caused by the presence of the knife, before running the full length of his young face and falling onto his white t-shirt.

Recommended for Adult readers only - contains graphic scenes of violence, sexual violence and supernatural horror. "William Cook tells a gruesome story with a sense of authenticity that makes you question, with considerable unease, if it really is fiction, after all." -Graham Masterton, author of The Manitou and Descendant "This man is simply scary.

Ordinarily I hate serial killer stories, but William Cook won me over.
