Tim Miller (2)

Ever wonder why those people in the news who "snap" and take out others with them get to that point? Not too sure if they truly acted alone? Did they have help? This book is a small anthology of those people who decide to go to the "Suicide Hotline"- an online service that helps those looking to take out their revenge on those who wronged them - with planned staged events with "professionals" who agree to let those people who agree to the terms to go out with a bang.

The politician who knows he's about to go down for multiple offenses (not the least of which is pedophilia) gets the opportunity to exact torturous revenge to both his rival and his wife

The bullied kid who gets the opportunity to get revenge on the one who bullied him the most.

The overworked and belittled janitor who has nothing to live for gets to go on a shooting spree making sure the boss who was his main source of grief got his due.

This book ties in to the "Country Club" series as this is a bit of an outside of the arc but containing main characters of the other series.

Sick and twisted, definitly not suitable for kids and just good pulpy fun.… (mais)

I wasn't paying attention to the title of this book, and mistakenly thought that "Anonymous" in the title meant that the book was written by "Anonymous" although I know Tim Miller wrote it, I thought it was a book Tim Miller wrote that was "written" by an anonymous serial killer. Anyhow, once I realized that wasn't the case, the title make much more sense.

You know how a frog can sit in a pot of water and not notice it's boiling as the heat is slowly turned up? Until it's too late and you now have frog soup? This is what that book is like.

The frog is Mary, an everyday psychologist who somehow manages to go from bad to worse situations with first one then two and finally three different serial killers who all know each other and were introduced to Mary by David- a Dexter wannabe who decided that Mary would be a great "sponsor" to call whenever he feels the urge to kill.

Fun!… (mais)

How on earth I got hooked on Tim Miller I will never know, but these little novellas/serials are sick and twisted, I want to say they are humorous, but some of the stuff Tim writes about is nowhere near being humorous, but the tone, if I dare say, is light.

You don't feel all bummed and heavy after reading these books, they are kind of like a good horror movie that is more about the practical effects than the scare. These books aren't scary (unless you actually think about how this stuff actually is going on in America, almost to the tee as how its described, if you believe the "fake news")


This is the fourth to this "Country Club" series, and when you read them all together they make a pretty hefty novel. There is an actual plot, which basically is about this urban legend that is known as "The Country Club" --think Hostel in the US. That's the premise. Some bloggers try to locate this "urban legend" known as the Country Club, a shadow operation in Texas that caters to the extremely wealthy who come in to torture and kill whomever gets nabbed and brought in. That's what happens to the bloggers, they get caught and put in cages to be killed...


That's the first two books. Then there is "Suicide Hotline" which adds more depth to the Country Club series as it shows a side operation run by the same guy who runs Country Club (but you don't find out until the end of that book, sorry, but it's not a huge spoiler).

This is the fourth book which takes "the last girl standing" and puts her in a new rich, sick and twisted scenario that has "teams' of two driving in the South West on a murderous type of "Amazing Race" where they are thrown together, chipped for explosion if they deviate, and given tasks to complete in a time limit. These tasks can be from "Go into the bar and shoot the bartender" (said bar is filled with bikers) to go to this fair and kill as many people as you can, but don't use a gun.

Tim stretches his imagination in this book with some of the OTT gore, but that's what these are all about...there is even a bit of fourth-wall breaking in a scene towards the end...

Yeah, so that was this book. The whole "road rage" premise only lasts as long as this one, but it sets up for a new "Asylum" game in the next one.

Bring it on.....

In the end, these books are the flip side to the mommy-porn novellas that are all the rage..(yeah, I read a ton of those too). So these are just my other dirty secret.

Also, they are all Kindle Unlimited, so no harm in checking them out.

Looking forward to the Asylum...… (mais)
