It Begins... This book contains fragments of letters found by an
individual known as,"The Editor." When first presented with these
mysterious letters, it was clear the writer was twisted. An
individual so twisted and intriging, it gave The Editor no choice
but to continue investigating this material and its origins. Is
this material fiction - a sick joke, perhaps? Or is this the dark
literature documenting the events of a serial killer? The questions
kept stacking. Upon further research, The Editor was able to
confirm his greatest fear... there are others. The thought was
sickening to The Editor. Instead of one deranged killer, he is
dealing with multiple deranged killers; but how many? That is the
real question. The Editor warns that the contents of this book are
not for the light-hearted, simple-minded, or sensitive reader.
Though my puppet, The Editor is the messenger... and he brings the
killers message for all to ponder. You have been warned... Have a
glorious day -the devil-

ellos han sido escritos con la intencion de que el lector se sienta
invitado a formar parte de la lectura, a que se sienta animado a
navegar entre las diferentes historias y tramas, y pueda configurar
el mensaje que el autor desea enviar al mundo. Todas las historias

diferentes sociedades: esta la diferencia de clases, que son
igualadas por la muerte; la insensatez ante el mito real y
existente, que conlleva al castigo inexplicable; el amor espontaneo
y verdadero, enfrentado con el mundano hipocrita; la honestidad y
el trabajo, en pugna contra la envidia e incapacidad de quienes no
reconocen sus debilidades; el sentimiento y respeto por la amistad,
como una gran via para unificarnos; el sentimiento del verdadero
amor, que lleva a la invasion total mental de un ser; y otros
relatos llenos de tematicas que procuren la reflexion del lector.
