If enjoyed Oates’ short story “A good man is hard to find“, this book definitely falls in the same vein. The descriptions in this book are graphic, unflinching, and extremely challenging at times. I will admit to feeling nauseous reading some of the story. However, it is a unique perspective on sociopathy from the viewpoint of an extremely dangerous mind.
