Kevin writes, "Who kills but the strong? And who dies but thewilling?" Strange questions, certainly, but, to Kevin, their answersare obvious.
He is lyrical, intelligent, looks inward, forward, outward,backward, sees nightmares everywhere, makes these nightmares work,finds much in them about which he can congratulate himself--forinstance, deaths that are slow and meaningful and, as he interpretsthem, deaths that bring welcome release. Not only to him. But to theothers, as well.
And what about the others? What about their poor, short lives? Whatremains after they,ve passed? What about their stuff, their plans,the grudges they hold?
And who in the name of heaven, or hell, are ghastly William and fatLeonard? And why does the apparently absent and obviously nakedJanet, with whom Kevin spent several years of wedded bliss, walk thehallways of the huge house at odd hours?
Genre: Horror
