Who knew the minister next door was also a sadistic predator?
Cecil Biggs is not your average man of the cloth. By day, he appears to be a hard working preacher, but once night descends upon the quiet Southern California neighborhood where Biggs resides, his darker self emerges. Living a double life as a sex fiend and brutal murderer, he enjoys luring innocent victims into his basement lair by any means possible.
Converting an old house into a church, Biggs becomes the perfect wolf in sheep's clothing, which also puts him in the ideal position to attract his unsuspecting prey. He lives to satisfy his sinister appetites without remorse or limits, indulging in his more violent tendencies as soon as the sun goes down by torturing and killing the women he abducts in his dungeon of doom.
But how long can Biggs keep up the nice-guy-next-door pretense while secretly living as a homicidal maniac? And what happens when the locals start suspecting that there's more to this Bible thumper than meets the eye?
"Great book. Dark—yes. Grotesque—certainly. Sexually explicit—without a doubt. And the writing is excellent. Character development & dialogue, is as real as it gets. A terrifying, non-putdownable horror." –Jeff Bennington, KB Review
For Fans of Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Silence of the Lambs. "I wrote/directed/edited the zero cult slasher flick Lunchmeat on Super-8 Kodachrome back in the mid-80s. And really, could hardly do much because we had nothing: no budget, no crew, no permits. It was frustrating as hell because what I got on film was but a small percentage of things I had planned on getting done out there in the summer of '86 in the San Fernando Valley.
Well, I must tell you, Lustmord has it beat by miles, because I did it the right way, no holds barred, the way these crazy horror novels ought to be written. Nothing is censored; in fact, it even turned my own damn stomch at one point in the 90s & I was forced to stop workin on it for about five years. Think I'm kidding? Read some of the reviews. It was one tough mother to put down on paper. But I had to, wanted to write down the way it really is with heartless psychos who slaughter just for the hell of it.
Crazy? That's the world we all live in. Take a look around. That's not to say that there isn't kindness out there, that there aren't some terrific peeps out there––and the bad crap we witness & hear about day in day out, makes us appreciate all the good that comes our way all the more. And no, i do not stick with horror exculsively, because if I did, I'd go bonkers. As a writer––and writing is/always has been my first love––I'm what they call a genre-hopper. I love it that way. What heeps me interested and hitting the keyboard keys. Enjoy." ––Kirk Alex
