"Super fans. Groupies. Stalkers. Lori is just such a fanatic. Her obsession is with Edmund Cox, a man of sadistic cruelty who butchered more than twenty women. She's gone so far as to forge a relationship with him, visiting him in prison and sending him letters on a regular basis. She will do anything to get close to him, so when he gives her a task, she eagerly accepts it. She has no idea of the horror that awaits her. Edmund tells her she must go to his cabin in the woods of Killen and retrieve a key to deliver to a mysterious figure known only as The River Man. On her quest, she brings along her handicapped sister, and they journey through the deep, dark valley, beginning their trip upriver. The trip quickly becomes a surreal nightmare, one that digs up Lori's personal demons, the ones she feels bonds her to Edmund. The river runs with flesh, the cabin is a vault of horrors, and ghostly blues music echoes through the mountains. Soon they will learn that The River Man is not quite fact or folklore, and definitely not human -- at least, not anymore. And the key is just the beginning of what is required of Lori to prove she's worthy of a madman's love."--Amazon.com.

"Lori takes her handicap sister to the woods to find the river man. She’s on a quest to prove love and devotion to her serial killer boyfriend/pen pal who currently resides in prison. He has asked her to locate a key in his shed and to give it to the river man. <br/><br/>This is graphic and pretty disturbing. I’m not a splatterpunk genre fan, yet here I am reading another one. When my father passed away last august, one of the items I received was his kindle. I want to eventually read the books he’s read and this was one of them. He enjoyed many genres, horror being one. <br/><br/>I was interested in the storyline, but it became pretty predictable. It was a solid 3.5/4 stars until the ending, which was very anti-climatic for me. If you’re a horror fan, give this one a go. It’s a quick and twisted read."
