An Army of Skin

De: Morgan K Tanner

Narrado por: Robert Curran

What better way to exact revenge by the murdering and skinning of innocent victims in lashings of blood-soaked depravity?

But hold on, those flayed skins are coming to life? And thus begins the insanity.

After losing his mother to a brain tumour, Trevor King feels totally alone in the world. Someone needs to pay for her death and Dr Mellick, Trevor's work colleague and family GP, is the man he holds responsible.

Trevor's yearning for vengeance leads him to concoct a vicious plot to frame the doctor for multiple murders. Trevor skins the corpses, turning them into elaborate art pieces after being inspired by a mysterious textbook. But as the skins of the flayed victims come to life and continue the killings for him, Trevor wonders whether he is in too deep.

When Dr Mellick goes missing Trevor becomes convinced the doctor is planning a similar scheme to bring him down. But as Trevor discovers the truth of his mother's death and his own life, this murderous path becomes more of a calling.

This is a compellingly menacing first novella by an author that has a firm grip on the workings of horror.
