The Devil's List, by Terry M. West is a brutal, pull no punches novella.
Chuck believes himself to be possessed by a demon. A demon that compels him to murder. Whether or Chuck is possessed, or his own mind is rotten, one thing is for sure, you don't want to cross path's with him.
I enjoyed this take on a serial killer, one that was inspired by true events. West puts you right there in the drivers seat with Chuck. He does an excellent job putting you in Chuck's brain, a place that you don't want to be to begin with. The kills are quick and brutal and also help expose you to Chuck's fragile mind. I wasn't sure how this one was going to play out, but by the time I was finished, I was left satisfied, but yearning for more. I find that a testament to the writing on display, not a knock on the length of the book.
I devoured this short book in one reading session and would recommend it to anyone with even a passing interest in serial killers, both real, and fictional. I'll be on the lookout for more books by Terry M. West
