The homophobic slurs thrown around ruined this story.

Man oh man. Talk about dark and twisted. But this is Richard Kadrey we're talking about, and he doesn't write about sunshine and rainbows. Still, this was a very engaging, grim story that actually made you feel sympathy for the main killer. I mean, character. I found it to be just the right length, and truly enjoyed the ending.

I was not sure what I expected from this, but it turned out to be so much deeper than I expected.

When a serial killer goes looking for a mentor what could possibly go wrong?
A little bit thriller, a little bit horror and little bit weird but still a good read and nice way to spend a little time.

Short and intense but while reading I felt like something was missing.

This is a decent, engaging story. Its an interesting premise I'd be interested in reading more about.

Richard Kadrey is one of my absolute favorites. I gave this one 3 stars. Which means I liked it, but I'm used to enjoying stories far more than this one if he is the author. Or maybe it's the short story/novelette format I'm not used to. I felt it didn't have quite the time to run itself out.

I was a little disappointed in this novella from Richard Kadrey, whose Sandman Slim novels never fail to please with fresh and surprising characters and plots that keep me guessing. Suspect Zero, from the title to the last page, was pretty dull and predictable, offering nothing new or unexpected to a seasoned reader of this genre. The story unfolded a bit like an episode of the Twilight Zone, but since we've all seen that episode a hundred times before. there's little in the story to keep a reader interested. Perhaps the short form is not Kadrey's forte. If he had delivered a few plot surprises or even one character for whom I was able to develop any empathy, I suspect I would feel differently. Right now, I'm just counting the days until his new novel is released and I can get back to enjoying his writing again.

Short, weird and to the point. I really liked it. Also I listened to Wil Wheaton's version and it was really good.
