He was a monster spawned from a childhood of vile corruption, nurtured in the putrefying hell of Vietnam. Six foot seven and five hundred pounds of seething hate. But behind the soulless eyes lurked a burning intelligence – an animal cunning infinitely superior to anything on four legs.

A serial murderer so depraved that he devoured the hearts of his victims. There wasn’t a killer on earth who took life so efficiently, so sadistically – or so often…and if he gets his way, there won’t be enough lives left for anyone to try…Cover art by David O’Connor. N.B.: The general consensus at the Cauldron is that the cover picture bears a remarkable likeness to Slimer from the Ghostbusters film series.
