Brilliant. So brilliant. I think I just found a new favorite author.

Creepy and horribly rewarding

Kidnappers get what's coming to them! Wonderfully creepy tale. Great story great character. Short to the point and will leave you with some serious spine tingle. I received this audiobook from the author narrator or publisher for free via audiobookblast in exchange for an unbiased review.

Split Personality

I enjoyed listening to this especially toward the end! Wish it was longer. Recommend the book if you want a quick interesting short listen. This audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom

In the head of a psycho

When I first started this short story I wasn’t really sure what to make of it. We are inside the main characters head as he makes his way to the bathroom, leaving me with the impression that he was Autistic or had Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). During this trip he gets kidnapped for ransom…still doesn’t seem much right? Well, holy crap…when the synopsis say a psychotic mental condition, they were friggin right. I sure didn’t expect that.

Same as before, this is a short story leaving the description of my thoughts very short. Howard really gets us inside this psychopath’s head, but be warned, you will probably end up feeling sorry for him as well. This is one of those short stories that I wished was a little bit longer so we could have dived in a little bit more. James Simenc did a great job with narration, but I think it could have been more expressive once the psychotic break happens. However, by this time you are already invested to the end. This is another short story that I will dive back into.
