Then Killers, the sequel to Serial.
Then Birds of Prey, which introduced every major villain the writers had ever created into one cohesive novel. (Birds of Prey + Killers = Killers Uncut.)
And now, all that and more has been brought together for this definitive, omnibus monster, which at roughly 600 printed pages, is the length of two full novels…
Serial Killers Uncut.
This epic work, over two years in the making, contains Serial Uncut, Killers, Birds of Prey, Crouch’s Break You, an interview with the authors, and more.
Serial Uncut + Break You + Killers + Birds of Prey = Serial Killers Uncut.
If you haven’t read anything by Crouch, Kilborn, or Konrath, Serial Killers Uncut is the perfect introduction to the dark side of their universe. And if you enjoy a despicable bad guy (or bad girl), you’re going to love this.
There are twenty-one serial killers featured in this book: Lucy and Donaldson from Serial, Orson and Luther from Desert Places, Locked Doors, and Break You, Mr. K from Shaken, Alex and Charles Kork from Whiskey Sour and Rusty Nail, Isaiah from Abandon, Taylor from Afraid, Javier from Snowbound, and many, many more.
There are some good guys too, including Andrew Z. Thomas (Desert Places, Locked Doors), Jack Daniels (Whiskey Sour, Shaken), Violet King (Locked Doors, Break You), Tequila (Shot of Tequila), and Clayton Theel (Draculas).
At $4.99, this e-book is a steal, as its contents retail separately for almost $10.00.
