Forty years ago, Seth Rigal was a man to be feared - a serial
strangler with a string of victims. Now nearly seventy and
tormented by a lifetime of monstrous violence, Rigal lives on the
verge of poverty and quietly waits for the death he knows he
deserves. Tortured and confused, still tormented by the drives that
made him a killer in his youth, Rigal finds himself almost
unconsciously stalking the daughter of his final victim - only to
have his precious anonymity snatched from him when he accidentally
saves her son's life. Seth Rigal, formerly known as the Gripper,
just became a local celebrity. The bodies won't stay buried any
longer. White Knuckle is a complex and intense psychological
thriller, distorting the ever-popular retired gunslinger motif into
a rain-slick urban fantasy of murderous men and the needs that
drive them.
The mind of Henry Flint is a galaxy of beautiful atrocities - a
nightmare factory where the bestial becomes benign, the mundane
magical. Henry Flint is at once a full-service doodling savant and
a one-man alien zoo, and this never-before-seen collection of his
personal work is an attempt to chart a single, crooked leg of the
artistic journey he takes daily. Welcome to the best of the
bestiary.
