Really enjoyed this. Review coming soon on Sci Fi and Scary. ( )

Jeffrey Sowell is dead. Or at least he was dead. Now he's mysteriously alive again....a year after the car accident that killed him. A year after his funeral. A strange man named Corliss resurrects Jeffrey and sends him back to the town where he lived, worked, loved. But this time, he returns as an agent of death. Everything he touches crumbles and dies. Corliss soon visits other people in town, creating monsters. People are consumed by their vices.....sex, technology, alcohol..... Jeffrey's sister Sierra sees the destruction and horror....and her long-dead brother. Can love stop the horror?

Wow....this book has some truly horrific moments. This is not for the faint hearted....from graphic gore to really, really, really (add some more reallys please) icky sex, it's got just about every vice covered. I couldn't stop reading! I had to know how the story ended.....and the ending gave me the cold shivers. I normally steer away from gorefests....but for this story, it worked. There was a purpose to the gore. Awesome story!

This book is definitely not for the kiddos. Pretty adult stuff. It is not traumatizingly graphic, but does have some pretty warped stuff going on (like a woman's vagina that can eat people).

This is the first book by Tim Waggoner that I've read. I'm definitely going to be reading more. This book seriously creeped me out -- loved it! I have to read more by this man!

**I voluntarily read an advance readers copy of this book from Flame Tree Press via NetGalley. All opinions expressed are entirely my own.** ( )

This is a warped and dark tale that will take you in many unexpected directions. Unflinching, brutal and bizarre, this is not a light horror read. At times it felt like there was too much backstory given to the characters, slowing momentum, but overall it's a wild ride. This is one for horror fans, but certainly not for sensitive readers.

I received my copy through NetGalley. ( )

I hope they make this into a horror movie....it has everything. Original story. Unique and mysterious character's. Great underlying premise. Style that flows.

Sierra Sowell misses her brother, Jeffrey, who was killed in an automobile accident. On the one a-year anniversary of his death, Jeffrey is resurrected by a mysterious man, Corliss. But Jeffrey is not fully alive- he is a walking corpse with the ability to turn things to dust with a mere touch.
Corliss gives Sierra and Jeffrey's boyfriend, Marc, one chance to bring her brother back to life. Will she be able to save him, no matter how many others she must kill....or will she give up and allow Jeffrey to return to the land of the dead?
Corliss turns numerous people she knows into raving lunatics, all hell bent on being the one to kill Sierra. We meet Grace- her 60ish, alcoholic neighbor, Stuart a half human/half cyborg that works at an electronics store, Randall the very creepy retired guy that may be a pedophile and walk the neighborhood passing out "chucks" ( pennies he has painted a smiley face on) and Mandy, the Math teacher and head of the Traditional Values Club, with a huge appetite for sex. Will Sierra and Marc be able to evade and survive the onslaught of weirdness Corliss puts in their way?
Waggoner is one of the most unique and original writers of horror fiction. Mesmerizing and enthralling, his eerie stories stay with you. Creeping you out slowly.
Flame Tree Press features some of the most brilliant, unique and exciting authors and is one of my go-to publishers. I highly recommend Flame Tree and Tim Waggoner.
Thanks to the publisher and author for sharing this e-book ARC for review. ( )
