Summary: No better place to start than the beginning
Review: This book is a thrilling read in so many ways. First of all, the plot about a vicious serial killer is always a fun read. Second, Slade's tying multiple time frames and characters together is unique and pushes you to the end because you want to know how the hell it all fits together. (These multi-plot line story structures went on to become SLade's trademark.) Also there is plenty of research put into every novel, and this is of course no exception. I have always been a sucker for serial killers written in gruesome splatterpunk fashion mixed with a mystery angle, so it's no surprise Slade has become one of my top 3 favorite horror writers.

Summary: Best Book Ever!!!
Review: This is simply the best fiction novel I have ever read. I usually tend to stick to non-fiction and history, but this book blew me away. It is so complex and visual in its presentation. The story is interesting and well paced. The characters leap off the pages. The ending is absolutely incredible. I have always wanted to see a movie made of this one, and wonder why one hasn't been done yet. But, I also get afraid that Hollywood would only make a mess out of this masterpiece.
