Just for the pure enjoyment and entertainment factors, I loved SERIAL.  It is very graphic with violence, but I didn't think it was much worse than some of the thrillers that are out there today that I've read.  The two authors collaborating on this agreed that one mind was as sick as the other, and I'll agree, but I think the plot of two serial killers working alone and then what happens when the two of them meet up is very clever.  I read this very fast because I couldn't wait to see what happened.  This isn't SERIAL UNCUT, but a shorter version of it.  If these two writers intended to make me feel a little creepy, unnerved, like I had to keep reading, and totally entertained, then they accomplished their goal.  If you love thrillers and horror, something that gives you a very unsettled feeling, then this is for you. This is the first time I've seen the term "recreational murder" in any kind of mystery or suspense thriller.  I hope that's one term that doesn't become popular.There are three other excerpts from books included:  Desert Places by Blake Crouch, Shaken by J.A. Konrath, Draculas by J.A. Konrath, Jeff Strand and F. Paul Wilson.There is a list of each authors' works that are available for the Kindle at the end of the last excerpt. I didn't recognize the name of J.A. Kornrath, but he's the author of the Jack Daniels thriller series which includes Whiskey Sour and Bloody Mary.  I've read Whiskey Sour and enjoyed that one.  The authors are not unknown authors, and if you like things that go bump in the night or even in the daytime, then SERIAL is a good choice for a free download.
