Sometimes you come across a book that is not an utter piece of shit, written for the money, for stupid assholes who think it is the next new best literary work of genius that their Cosmopolitan-reading girlfriends and Times best-seller list worshippers buddies would love to talk about after reading the review.

This sentence might not mean much. I simply refer to those people reading books just to be able to not look like too much of a dumbass in some social circles, but who do not like reading. Whatever.

This book was clearly written for the money, and the guy used to do another job when he wrote it. Even so. He created a fuckin' scary monster, the likes of which you won't ever see in a fuckin' movie.

This Slob guy is in every way the prototypal future killing machine, because his mother was a whore that liked doing it in front of him when he was a child, and whose boyfriends also liked to flog him with an electric wire before returning him to wallow in his feces and urine behind the closet door where they locked him.

So far, so classical. And boring, because we have read about it in  so many of these stories before that we are kinda dismissive of them by now, aren't we ?

This Slob guy is totally out of his mind, but his fuckin' mind is that of a genius. That makes him real scary, because most of the serial killers out there are dumbasses, and get caught because of a tiny or a big mistake they make, at one moment or another. But not Slob. He makes no mistakes. And the detective who tries to locate and arrest him is just a former drunk who mostly feels sorry for himself.

The best scene is when Slob is set free in the Vitnamese jungle. Because he was used by the CIA or some other agency to destroy as many Vietcongss he could and make them feel really scared, for a change.  Reading how he sets up his traps to catch and kill the men in  'black pajamas', as he calls them, is worth the reading of that book.

Then of course he gets killed, almost inadvertently by the drunk cop. And we think it is a shame. He should have butchered this stupid fucker. And make necklaces of his bowels.

Consequently, many people did think that Rex Miller had to revive his Slob for a few other books, which I have not read yet.

But will certainly do, as soon as possible.

And you'd better do so, too.
