Review: Disturbing, Chilling & Graphic
Rating: 5 out of 5

Completely disturbing. The book is fitting for the genre, but I was unprepared, despite the author's kind disclosure in the product details, of what I'd find within the book's pages. Cecil, the main character, sprang to life immediately with an account of that fateful day during his childhood that became the driving force behind the monster that he came to be. As in real life, a childhood filled with psychological and physical abuse can only end one of two ways: by overcoming it or by repeating it. Not only did Cecil repeat the abusive cycle, but he embraced the darkness of it and acted out in ways unfathomable to most of us. For him, pain and the erotic are inseparable emotions; he cannot have one without the other. The story is a chilling and graphic portrayal of the serial butcher doing what he does best.
