Joel M. Andre is an incredible talent that never fails to delight.  Brutal takes a look at just how far a man will go to avenge the death of his father.  This is the first in a series and the ending leads perfectly into the next installment.Haunting and engrossing, Mr. Andre manages to craft a tale that lets the reader become completely entranced within the scenes and the characters.  This is no small feat for a short story.  The twisted mind of the antagonist is incredible and the ways in which he exacts his vengeance is definitely not for the weak of heart nor the weak of stomach.  Excellently vivid scenes and characterization make for a not-to-be-missed story!  I highly recommend Brutal to any readers looking for a quick but unforgettable read!
