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.

Welcome to Babylon, a typical sleepy Alabama small town, where years earlier the Larkin family suffered a terrible tragedy. Now they are about to endure another: 14-year-old Margaret Larkin will be robbed of her innocence and her life by a killer who is beyond the reach of the law. But something strange is happening in Babylon: traffic lights flash an eerie blue, a ghostly hand slithers from the drain of a kitchen sink, graves erupt from the local cemetery in an implacable march of terror.

After a bizarre and disturbing incident at the funeral of matriarch Marian Savage, the McCray and Savage families look forward to a restful and relaxing summer at Beldame, on Alabama's Gulf Coast, where three Victorian houses loom over the shimmering beach. Two of the houses are habitable, while the third is slowly and mysteriously being buried beneath an enormous dune of blindingly white sand. But though long uninhabited, the third house is not empty. Inside, something deadly lies in wait.

Shortly after they arrive, things begin to turn ominous.

An 11-year-old boy's violated corpse is found in a town park. Eyewitnesses and fingerprints point unmistakably to one of Flint City's most popular citizens. He is Terry Maitland, Little League coach, English teacher, husband, and father of two girls. Detective Ralph Anderson, whose son Maitland once coached, orders a quick and very public arrest. Maitland has an alibi, but Anderson and the district attorney soon add DNA evidence to go with the fingerprints and witnesses. Their case seems ironclad.

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.

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.

In a future so real and near it might be now, something happens when women go to sleep: They become shrouded in a cocoon-like gauze. If they are awakened, if the gauze wrapping their bodies is disturbed or violated, the women become feral and spectacularly violent; and while they sleep they go to another place.... The men of our world are abandoned, left to their increasingly primal devices. One woman, however, the mysterious Evie, is immune to the blessing or curse of the sleeping disease.

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.
