Nature vs Nurture?The Survival of Thomas Ford is a no-holds-barred look into the mind of a socio-path. The actions of the antagonist are as hypnotic as a snake-charmer. Who raised this demonoid? Was this heredity, or was his soul beaten out of him? Is he seeking his father's approval? His mother's? Or simply his own sense of completeness, in the utter and complete annihilation of another human being?We know this: he is charismatic to the vulnerable, like a sweet, secret porn addiction. The reader is drawn into this titillating filth, and left feeling dirty and bereft by the switch to the pov of Thomas Ford, a minor player in his own survival, or lack thereof.The ending creates the effect of a tree falling in the forest with no one around. Did it make a sound? Did it even happen?You have to read this. Yes, really, you do.
