Published reviews:* This is the best book I have ever read!!! I love the gore and blood. Any suggestions on more books like this?? I read all of J.A. Konrath's books, and they were good too. Need some more good authors like this!* Pat Addams will make you stop and think...are we as complacent as he says we are? We all better wake up. The carnage left in the wake of Jack's horrific escapades, which he creatively disposes of, could be any one of us. Pat has a brilliant way with words that will tap out your emotions. He designs each scene with precise words that at times leave you wondering... remember it is the little things. His imagery WILL leave your heart pounding... or as Jack would say `THUMP! THUMP!' And speaking of Jack..* Wow, this book may have been the most disturbing book I have ever read. The sad part is that I just could not put it down. I won't forget this one anytime soon. Enjoy and Happy Nightmares!
