Serial Killers have one method that marks them for life. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read.
Errors: (Author's notes.)
two psychiatrists agreed that he was in good mental heath (health)

Move in next to me? Hey, sounds like an interesting fellow. Probably has fascinating stories about prison life, and the consequences of bringing dreams to fruition. Be a big hit at our next dinner party, which would probably be appropriate to plan around the 31st! Creepy story here, my friend. I've lived in California most of my life, this brought back some old memories,(shudder!). Well done on this seasonal treat, Bill

A wonderful look at how the evils of the past may be visited upon the innocents of the present. And it seems that sometimes we need not wait for strange aeons.

Well, this is ghastly...I love it! Riddled throughout with your amazing characterizations and gory details, this story was a bloody pleasure to read. I like the slick POV changes and the expert application if only needed details, never straying from the story. Short and wonderfully written, my friend. A great way to start my day along with a cup of Joe and a smoke.

HI there, your writing reminds me of someone in my writers group. It's not usually the kind of writing I like but it's engaging and keeps the reader reading. I like the jump back in time at the end.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Why do you make me read this? I hate you lol. (Still laughing out loud). Eeewwww! Grizzly and gory. Dean, it is SO well written. Sentence structures are perfect, punctuation, as far as I can see, is perfect, story is excellent (this is asking a lot from me lol). Overall, an EXCELLENT piece of writing. Now I'll go back to hating you. You truly are an amazingly talented writer. Is this where you slip me the ten? Sheryn :-(

    Thanks so much for the very fine, fun review, Sheryn!

Oh, if I didn't need the money! I had trouble continuing to read. You've done your job well! No errors that I could find and a very good telling of a story so good it had to be true! Or at least some of it, huh? WGT

    Ha ha, well, I hope you didn't have trouble finishing because of the writing. However, if it's the subject matter that caused you so much anguish to continue, then, thank you! I did my job, LOL..

    Thanks for the great review, Greg...

Great work, my friend. Vivid imagery and believable conversations make this an easy read. You might want to add a line somewhere when the couple is talking/thinking about the house about it being the best buy in Meadow Brook (or something along that line) in order to tie the two sections of the story together. Other than that I didn't see any inconsistencies or errors. Oh - and I loved the reference to Manson, though younger readers may miss it.

Again, great job - sherry

    Hey, I appreciate you reading it for me, Sherry! I will look into making more of a concise connection there, as well.

    Yes, I will admit, I was a bit apprehensive about using the Charles Manson reference. But I figured, many (if not most) people have heard of him. So far, both of my reviewers have been aware of who old Charlie was, LOL... I'm just kidding, but seriously, everyone that's reviewed it thus far has known...

    Thanks, again, I really appreciate it!
