This is the story of Billy. Born of incest he is truly a monster. Banished to the cellar and chained up like an animal, he is forced to survive by eating small animals. Then his mother dies and he has a chance to escape. Soon the town will not know what has hit them, as Bad Billy goes on a cannibalistic murdering spree. Then he bites off more than he can chew and things begin to change for Billy...............I love stories like this. Dark and visceral and unapologetic in their gore and blood. We are taken on a whirlwind tour of Billy's life (such as it is), and subsequent death (which was surprisingly poignant). Be warned though, this is not for the faint-hearted. It is very graphic and the blood-letting rarely lets up. It is what I would call a guilty pleasure. You know you shouldn't read it but are drawn to it anyway and helpless to it's call. A great story that will catch you by the back of the neck and not let go until the end.
