Dead Man’s Heart by Axl Malton

This would be the first novel by this author that I’ve read and my goodness what an amazing read it is!! From beginning to end I was completely enthralled and thoroughly engaged. The author begins this unique tale by telling us not just one story, but simultaneously two different stories about two very different people who seemingly have no connections to each other’s lives in any way. One a successful heart surgeon, the other a disabled individual with a horrible disfigurement and some questionable personal hobbies.

As the stories go along each progressing in their own enjoyable ways the reader is beginning to wonder what the heck is going on with these two different stories and whether or not they will come together and connect at some point. Once the reader finds the answer to that mystery, (that for more than a few chapter’s at this point have become all consuming) all hell breaks loose! And the story takes a deep dive into some dark gruesome corners.

In giving reviews I try not to give out spoilers. Or even synopsis type reviews for that matter because if you can’t find it on the back of the book you’re certain to find it in half a dozen other page reviews. So at most, (for whatever it’s worth) you are just going to get my two cents and all I can tell you about Dead Man’s Heart is that it is a helluva good book and I highly recommend it! It is written well with strong, likable, and unlikable characters. I would classify it as horror, psychological thriller, serial killer, gore, revenge.

My mind kept coming back to one thought through the course of this story and that was: Do men make monsters? Or are they just born evil?
