Killer Asylum

About the Book

The Reviews....

"It is an intense, disturbing novel with some of the most frightening passages I have ever read…filled with images that stay with you long after the final haunting sentence." - Art of the Voice Magazine

"Killer Asylum is one of the rare books where I don´t come to a part of the book and glance ahead to see "How much longer is this chapter?" …David Williams has one thing going for him: action. It rarely lets up here and that is a welcome change, believe me" - C. Dennis Moore

"Clearly inspired by "Silence of the Lambs", Williams folds these elements into a bloody update of Ken Kesey’s "One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest". The narrative is sharp, gory and Gothic (and) when Killer Asylum is in one of its many action scenes, Williams describes these scenes with accuracy and flair in a vivid, almost cinematic way. The villains are evil and sadistic and the heroine is brave and resourceful. The story is suspenseful and Williams tells it in a relentless, graphic manner. A Competent thriller" - ForeWord Review

"I recommend anyone interested in the serial killer’s mind or a profession dealing with profiling read this book. And, once done, ask yourself the question I finally had to face. Could you handle the real thing, when this is just a taste?" - Dawn Johnson, Sacramento Bee/Tacoma News Tribune

Combining the dark visceral imagery, complex protagonist and twisted villians of "Silence of the Lambs" with the nightmare surrealism of "Naked Lunch" and the tear-it-up action of "Die Hard", author David R. Williams pumps fresh blood into the serial killer/profiler genre with this compelling and frightening page turner.
