Dixon Rice has a quiet writing style that contrasts sharply with the murder and mayhem in his story. The serenity of his narrative adds to the horror as he treats us to an inner perspective of the demented mind. As an added bonus, Mr. Rice delves into the thought processes of not one, but two psychopathic killers. Each driven by their unique logic. Each believing theirs is the way. Each achieving the same result. In either case the contagion spreads and the reader is left wondering whether they could be drawn into the web of minds like these. All of this is made far more chilling by Mr. Dixon's calm narrative style. His tone implies the world he creates is normal, sending a few extra chills up the spine. I look forward to more tales by this writer.
