Great Horror

This is a bone chilling horror author that at times managed to make me sick at my stomach.
Brenda was pretty normal up until the day her father, John, kicked her mother, Sylvia, in the stomach causing a miscarriage. Then John walks into her room on a drunken night and rapes her, never even offering apologies. That is when the voices started in her head, commanding her to kill and drink the blood of the victims. It would protect her mother from the every day beatings of her good for nothing father, as well as help transform her into the vampire she fantasizes about.
The VIOLATOR was on a killing spree, murdering adults and children alike. One kill was just never enough it always wanted more. The blood of babies tasted especially sweet so when the Violator killed and ate little Billy; his blood was ecstasy.
But one day after numerous killings the Violator makes the worst mistake of its life. Killing an innocent girl with a vampire for a father; is not a good idea by any means. Especially when the vampire wants to seek revenge on the murderer of his only child. The Violator was trapped with no where to run and no one to help because the whole town of Carper Falls had died that night by the hands of a raging Vampire.
When Brenda thought she was getting closer to eternal life by each kill, she really had no idea how close she was living to death. Just right across the street.
Mr. Enck is an amazing story teller. This story was masterfully written and had each detail printed to the bone. I will never forget reading this book. It actually kept me awake at night thinking that this could actually happen. The Violator could be some kid right up the street from me. I have to award Mr. Enck 5 bloody hearts, because I loved this book. Also I'm afraid if I don't there's gonna be a man with scary silver eyes knocking on my door.
TWISTED
What a mind fu*k this book was...there were seriously parts of the book where I had to put it down and stop reading because it was making me feel ill...and other times where I was so repulsed that I wanted to throw the book across the room...or better yet, burn it. Yet each time, I picked it back up...sort of like when you pass a car accident and you can't help but stare at the dead or bleeding bodies in the road...I was repulsed by parts of this book, yet I wanted to keep reading...
The story is that of Brenda Dejour, a strangely twisted, mentally unhealthy young college student. Brenda's homelife has been far from ideal--her father is a raging mean alcoholic, whose number one passtime is beating and raping both his wife and his daughter. As a result of the abuse, Brenda goes slightly crazy.
Brenda's home town of Carper Falls, Maryland is completely shocked by its recent events. Normally a safe, small and quiet town, teenagers and children are suddenly being brutally killed. The causes of death get more disturbing with each murder; bodies being drained of blood, body parts severed and eaten, its really rather gruesome. The police and most of the townspeople are at a loss, and know little other than the name they've created for the murdering monster "The Violator."
The story, as I mentioned, is very gruesome and twisted...yet its an intoxicating one. If you're anything like me you won't be able to walk away from it, until you are able to understand the whys, and feel there is some resolution to it all.
The book is put out by a small publishing company, Bluphi'er Publishing, and there are a lot of typos, grammatical errors and spelling errors; a few of the errors I got hung up on, unable to move past them, but that's probably just the English teacher in me cringing. Most of the errors are trivial and your mind will compensate and fix them as you read, so you may not even notice them. Other than that, I have no complaints with the book.
I actually would like to read more of Eric Enck's work.
