13 Bodies

By: Dale Zawada

Narrated by: Mace Earl Finn

Thirteen Victims. One Monster.

From the twisted mind of award-winning screenwriter Dale Zawada, 13 Bodies delves into the origins of true evil. Jack Delmont was doomed from the start, an abused child who claimed his first victim at thirteen. Now a hulking menace with a compulsive hunger for violence, Jack carves a bloody path through 13 unflinching chapters, each revealing the twisted artistry behind every kill.

But as Jack carves a bloody path through the shadows, whispers of his past claw their way back, twisted memories of torment and betrayal that gnaw at the edges of his sanity. The line between predator and prey blurs, and the walls of Jack’s world begin to close in. The question isn’t if he’ll be caught, it’s what he’ll do when he’s cornered.

Gripping, visceral, and unapologetically dark, 13 Bodies explores the thin line between monster and man, forcing readers to question where evil truly begins. This relentless splatterpunk character study will leave you breathless and looking over your shoulder long after the final page.

13 Bodies

I read this book when it first came out. This is one of those stories that makes you wonder, are they born or bred this way. Hank and Tina destroyed what might have been a beautiful soul, in their son. There are parts in the story that make you feel horrible for Tina and Jack but.....just listen to the story....

The research that went into this book was outstanding

I received this audio as an art from the author. About halfway through, I had to send him a message and ask him who he based the main character off of. You could definitely tell he did a lot of research into serial killers. This book was super brutal more brutal than I imagined. I loved it but if you’re going to read or listen to this book, make sure you check your trim warning.

The Growth.

I loved it. The progression from birth, life, and death of a serial murder was so well done. There were subtle hints of specific serial killers in his development.

Excellent

Excellent book. Never a dull moment, even when there wasn’t action or violence, I was never bored. So dark and entertaining and that prologue …wow.
