"Clever, funny, shocking, and cheerfully vindictive." -Tom Shales, Pulitzer prize-winning TV critic. Award-winning filmmaker Victor Rook gives us a rare glimpse into his wonderfully diabolical mind with this collection of satirical horror story shorts. In People Who Need To Die the year is 2021, and people are fed up. The World Order Alliance allows "selective" homicides to reestablish a more peaceful society. A few of the targets: Bad Drivers, Distracted Cell Phone Users, Spammers, Internet Trolls, Litterbugs, Horrible Bosses, Black Friday Shoppers, and more. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

This was a series of many short stories, and each one was equally amazing in their own way! The glimpse inside this author's mind is absolutely shocking but at the same time awesome. This book gave me a Saw (film) type feeling, where someone decides to play a wicked game and kill off others who are not keeping the peace. Bad Drivers, people always on their cellphones, spammers, internet trolls, horrible bosses, litterbugs, black friday shoppers, idiots and gardeners are all destroyed in this series of short stories.
I did find Terror Garden, the short story, to be long, slow and boring compared to the other novels, but as a selection as a whole, this novel is amazing. I didn't expect the series to be so good and well developed. I actually want to reread this and suggest it to everyone I know. This author needs to make more books like this!
The "selective" homicides was a fabulous idea, and I wish there were more satirical novels out there like this that I could get my hands on. Absolutely wonderful!
Five out of five stars!
I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads.
PS I also loved that he signed it for me and spelled my name right. ( )
