Yes that’s the title of what I’m thinking for my latest novel. It will be far darker than what I’ve previously written. But then my own life is not going swimmingly. It will be with relish that I have the opportunity to enter a truly black world.
So the main character or dare I say “hero” in a normal novel will be a contemptuous, vile character who becomes paralyzed in a night of passion with a police colleague.
It is the villain that truly excites me. He will be based on a mixture of the “Golden State Killer ” and “Jack the Ripper”.
I intend the finished product to be my homage to “Silence of the Lambs”. It was a true work of terror that I saw on television but never read. I did read the sequel “Hannibal”.
These works greatly increased my appreciation of the literary arts and it is something I want to emulate and perhaps surpass.
There will by necessity be depictions of extreme violence of all kinds. Yes I am looking forward to it.
Regular readers will be kept occassionaly updated on progress.
