 “An ejaculation of hopelessness”

What a fucking line. 

Of course I’m comparing this all to the movie that 7 year old me watched at a friend's house when I was far too young. The first kill was arguably more horrifying because you get to hear the inner dialogue of the woman being attacked and her realizing she’s being attacked. The remainder of the book is a bit slow for my liking.
