I've never come across a story that is as horrifyingly brutal than this. That being said, you MUST read it Eliose J. Knapp, author of The Undead Situation The scariest book I have ever read in my life. Cynthia Gould, High Heels Lo Fi Twisted, unpredictable, and deliciously morbid, Terror Town has it all: horrifying creatures, vampires, zombies, and one of the best-written, sadomasochistic serial killers since 'Buffalo Bill.'
