Welcome to Black Spring, the seemingly picturesque Hudson Valley town haunted by the Black Rock Witch, a 17th-century woman whose eyes and mouth are sewn shut. Muzzled, she walks the streets and enters homes at will. She stands next to children's beds for nights on end. Everybody knows that her eyes may never be opened, or the consequences will be too terrible to bear.

Pain, horror, fear - these are the things that have comprised best-selling novelist Lance Metzger's life. His childhood remains a riddled wasteland of abuse by a sadistic father and abandonment by an apathetic mother. In turn his only refuge became his writing. When Lance loses his ability to write and becomes haunted by a nightmare that he'd thought was buried, he is drawn inexplicably to a house on the shores of Lake Superior, where he finds his muse once again - but something is waiting for him when he arrives.

Inside, something deadly lies in wait.

No one knows exactly when it began or where it originated. A terrifying new plague is spreading like wildfire across the country, striking cities one by one: Boston, Detroit, Seattle. The doctors call it Draco Incendia Trychophyton. To everyone else it's Dragonscale, a highly contagious, deadly spore that marks its hosts with beautiful black and gold marks across their bodies - before causing them to burst into flames. Millions are infected; blazes erupt everywhere. There is no antidote. No one is safe.

Daniel Martin has never forgotten his childhood encounters with Frank Watkins, the man who built his family a summer home out of cardboard and plywood. Frank's gaze was oddly confusing, as if he was attempting to discern the proper way to behave because he didn't know how to respond in a human manner. Since Frank obviously wasn't an alien, young Daniel thought maybe the man was crazy. In the end, Daniel would learn the terrifying truth about Frank Watkins. And as an adult, Daniel is about to discover there are more of them out there.

Editors Randy Chandler and Cheryl Mullenax put the call out to horror writers and editors of extreme stories, the hardcore stuff that breaks boundaries and trashes taboos, the transgressive tales you can't "unread" (as Chuck Palahniuk says). Some of the stories you'll find here are loaded with very graphic descriptions of violence, sex, and depravities, while others may contain only one shocking moment of brutality. In others, the hardcore aspect may be less graphic and subtler than you might expect.

Suburbia. Shady, tree-lined streets; well-tended lawns; and cozy homes. A nice, quiet place to grow up. Unless you are teenage Meg or her crippled sister, Susan. On a dead-end street, in the dark, damp basement of the Chandler house, Meg and Susan are left captive to the savage whims and rages of a distant aunt who is rapidly descending into madness. It is a madness that infects all three of her sons and finally the entire neighborhood. Only one troubled boy stands hesitantly between Meg and Susan and their cruel, torturous deaths.

The stray dog population has ceased to exist. And with winter's most powerful weapon bearing down, things are about to become much, much worse. A werewolf book. Not a romance. Not at all.

There's only one catch: behind a strange and intricately carved door in a distant wing of the house lives elderly Mrs. Allardyce, and the Rolfes will be responsible for preparing her meals. But Mrs. Allardyce never seems to emerge from her room, and it soon becomes clear that something weird and terrifying is happening in the house.

This is Cruelty, the epic 10-episode serial novel collected for the first time in one massive volume containing thousands of words of horror.
On a lonely stretch of deserted Texas highway, Will Longmire breaks down. But he's not alone. In the dead of night, Innis Blake hits someone - or something - with her car.

Chapters playing out of order and readers voice turning off and on like a bad signal... Would have been a good story
I started out really liking this book for the first five or so chapters maybe more. However after a while the chapters played out of order.. I have no idea what was going on in many chapters because of this. PLUS, around chapter 19 his words kept skipping so it was too hard to figure out what the heck he was saying. It's a shame because I really would have enjoyed this book if you played all the way through correctly.
I really don't even think I should have to pay for this one

So bad. I still loved it.
This was as poorly written a novel as I've ever read. Really. Clumsy, poorly researched, awkwardly paced.... I still really enjoyed it. Like a bad B movie or cat memes. "The thought went through his head like the Kool-Aid man through a brick wall. 'Oh yeah!'" ... What?!! It's not Faulkner but you should still listen.

At some point,
What didn’t you like about Kevin R. Tracy’s performance?
The choice of voices at some point made me turn away or better yet, off.
Any additional comments?
There's a high probability this review will do nothing to aid you in your purchase. Sorry, but the voices chosen are everything. It's not like when you read something in silence is it; You can change things at your leisure. At some point the voices chosen here could easily clear a room of flying insects. I’m no BIG fan of graphic violence either, did I mention that? One might wonder why I bought the damn thing. In the end, I may revisit it later out of respect for the process. After all, Mr. Lorn is published and Mr. Tracy is being heard and I'm left wishing I was either.

Weird yet entertaining....
What other book might you compare Cruelty to, and why?
There are no books that I have read that compare to Cruelty.....
Any additional comments?
This book is, for me, extremely odd. LOVED the storyline - even though the background story was weird and left a lot of holes. I didn't quite fully understand the basis of the storyline, but got the "gist" of it. I was really entertained this book and still enjoyed reading/listening to it.
Give it a go - if you dare.
