Afraid

I read Afraid, by Jack Kilborn, on my Kindle 2. About halfway through (OK, at exactly 50% according to my Kindle) I thought I might just quit reading it. I'm not too prudish, but this book is chock full of some pretty sick sadism. It's all part of the story, so it's not gratuitous per se, but I really don't think that this book would be for everyone. I certainly don't think it's my cup of tea. But, I have to give Kilborn some props: he can (and does) pile it on relentlessly, and some of the action scenes truly rocket along. I'm going to look for more of his work.
