Review: Where the Stars Won't Shine - by Patrick Lacey

4 of 5 Stars     Review copy

Tucker Ashton, the subject of the book, Birth of a Monster, written by Charles Williamson...

"But I can tell you everything leading up to his disappearance.  I can tell you about the victims and the families.  I can tell you about the trail of bloodshed Tucker Ashton left over much of the country.  I can tell you about his childhood and home life, both of which molded him into the monster he became.  And that’s a term I’ll use frequently: monster.  You can call him a human if you’d like but you haven’t sat across a table and stared into his eyes.  You haven’t heard him speak of disemboweling little girls like he was recalling a fond memory.  You haven’t seen his smile when he studies photos of his crime scenes.  I hope you never do but if, for some reason, you find yourself in such a position, you’ll understand my choice of words."

Believed deceased, Ashton is planning a return engagement to the town of Marlowe, the scene of his most notorious killing spree and this time he's invited fans old acquaintances whether they want to be there, or not.

A haunting tale, one the writer fills with a sense of urgency.  Filled with unending terror.  Don't let this one slip through the cracks.

Recommended.
