About this listen

While attempting to abduct a teenager from her home, sadistic serial killer Victor Brooks meets his match: ten 9mm bullets. In a puddle of his own blood, sprawled across a stranger’s kitchen floor, Victor’s life begins to flash before his very eyes. He sees the living and the dead, peace and carnage, friends and foes, success and disappointment, love and hatred. He sees a life defined by rage, suffering, and despair. The light at the end of Victor's tunnel is red—red with blood.

Jon Athan, the author of "The Groomer" and "Are Your Parents Home?," takes you on a journey through a serial killer’s life—from death to adolescence—in one of his bleakest, most disturbing novels to date. This is the making of a serial killer. This is the story of a man damned from birth.

A serial killer’s life story told in reverse order, this is probably one of Jon Athan’s darkest stories. Beau Thomas absolutely slays with his performance, creating some genuinely uncomfortable listening!

A very tough listen even by Jon Athan’s standards!

I've listened to 8 months of audio books and the narration is like nothing I've heard before a visceral and stunning performance by Beau Thomas and the the story brutal nasty and by the end utterly heart breaking. 10 out of 10

oof the narration
