Jon never disappoints! His variety of horror novels is so impressive! He wants a 10 book series with this one and truly hope it happens! Masterful stuff!

Extreme Horror gets the worst rep in the horror genre. Much like Erotic Novels do in Romance. The reader usually feels a bit of shame with their enjoyment of the work. It needs to be said that great extreme horror can take a reader to a place very different from traditional horror. They take that old primetime news phrase, “what happened was beyond description!” as a personal challenge. They not only take us into the minds of the killer, but show us the true unmasked monster. We experience a world without any safe spaces. A world where things, no matter how horrible, are constantly getting done.
I have read most of Jon Athan’s books and I am always impressed by how incredibly serious he takes this genre. There are plenty of Extreme Horror writers that go for the gross out or use horror just as comedy or for political incorrectness or some kinda skat porn. His books are well thought out, and have incredibly detailed plot lines. His always interesting characters live in an extreme world of horror that the reader soon discovers is all around us. These books make us feel that we are the ones living in the bubble and the rest of the world is the nightmare. And if we haven’t experienced the nightmare for ourselves, we’ve just been lucky…

This book was much more grand than his usual work. A globe trotting tour of torture, and a look at the horrors of being a child who has all of his innocence, faith, humanity and conscience stripped away until all that is left is a giggling, damaged, psychopath who desperately needs the approval of any male figure willing to love him. And anything he sees that either reminds him of his pain, or may help him find that love, he destroys.

Vincent is a new type of tragic-serial killer. I can’t describe it correctly… A strange version of Bateman with a brain injury? What if Forest Gump was a coke head and a serial killer?

Oh well…

It’s a great read. I’m already sad that there won’t be a sequel.

Extreme Horror is such a difficult genre to play in successfully. Sea finds that magical spot of fantastical melodrama, almost Greek Tragedy like retribution, believable body horror, likable characters and a need to discover what happens next. She just keeps getting better and better.

I honestly don’t want to say a word about this series other than, it’s really enjoyable and if you like it, you’ll be happy to k ow that there are other connected book series to the Sanger universe that make it all even more exciting.

As for Dax Jones. I have never heard him before, but he is a wonderful fit for Sanger, taking it to a new location and bringing fresh life to the characters.

I’ve become used to moments in his books where you sometimes have to fight back the nausea to keep going. He goes gross in a truly genius way. This one, felt very different. I almost thought I should do some research to see if someone close to him had recently taken their own life. All in all though- lovely passages about the artistic struggle and the commitment to write exactly what he wants makes him a true voice of extreme horror.
