It is work such as this that propagates the notion in the literary world that horror fiction is second tier material.The plot is ludicrous from the get-go. The author's intent was to clearly pander to the lowest common denominator with respect to readership, when one considers the overt emphasis on gratutitous violence and the (expected) fixation on lewd sex.This book should appeal to anyone seeking cheap literary thrills.If you're seeking a good read, that is, strong writing, believable plot, character development, etc. - skip this one.
