Broken Monsters
A dark and
disturbing account of a misguided artist who terrorizes Detroit with gruesome
installation pieces.
The Artist is
slowly unraveling, losing touch with reality, and sinking into the decay that
is overtaking Detroit. As the Artist’s mind unravels, his mediums become
increasingly macabre, and displays of murder victims bodies, fused with those
of animals are becoming commonplace. Told from multiple perspectives, this
engrossing, slow-build features the perspectives of the Artist, a detective, a
photographer, a scavenger, and an innocent, each with a role to play as the
murders unfold and the Artist comes to terms with his creations. Upon the final
violent climax, one is left wondering what is more horrific, the gruesome
murders perpetuated by the artist, or the depressing desolation of Detroit that
serves as a breeding ground for so much evil.
This brooding
work shakes you, forcing you to consider the motivation behind a seemingly evil
mind, and see the dreadful beauty of his creations. Powerful and imaginative,
this book transports you to the fusion of a rotting, abandoned city, and a
beautiful spiritual plane just beyond your grasp.
Beautifully written! It sounds macabre, and yet fascinating.
