5/8/2023 0 Comments Survivor by jf gonzalezThe beginning of this book is absolutely innocuous. If they have their way, Lisa’s death will be truly horrifying…but even more horrifying is what Lisa will do to survive.… They plan to torture and murder her as graphically and brutally as possible, and to capture it all on film. What they have in mind for Lisa is unspeakable. They’re going to make her a star-in a snuff film. But the kidnappers aren’t asking for ransom. Instead, it becomes a nightmare when her husband is arrested and Lisa is kidnapped. Lisa is looking forward to spending time alone with her husband-and telling him that they are going to have a baby. It is supposed to be a romantic weekend getaway. Between a plot set-up that is quite Laymon-esque (for it's grandiose themes and plots twists), and a writing style reminicent of Ketchum (for it's accessibility and simplicity), Gonzalez has not only crafted a very disturbing tale of rape, murder, and the underground snuff community but he's also proven that sometimes ' going the distance' can be done with style. Gonzalez's novel - Survivor - is quite possibly one of the most powerful books in the horror genre today.
