Description

Deep in the swamps of southern Louisiana, a broken and reclusive man named Jack LeBlanc is desperate for a second chance. When he enrolls in a cutting- edge clinical trial for Obsidian, a revolutionary tissue-regeneration drug promising to heal permanent scars, it seems like a life-changing opportunity. However, one by one, the volunteers begin to irreparably change in both body and mind. What starts as a miracle rapidly unravels into a sinister cautionary tale about narcissism, greed, and revenge. From the award-winning author of The Rictus Grin and Other Tales of Insanity comes a pulse-pounding, viscerally terrifying thriller that will keep you up at night. Vanity Kills is a must- read for fans of dark medical thrillers and psychologically gripping body horror that gets under your skin… literally. Based loosely on Summers' 2020 award-winning feature film Obsidian, Vanity Kills will make you think twice before swallowing your next pill.PLEASE NOTE: Contains depictions of gore & violence, sex, death, LGBTQIA+ material, profanity, and the brief death of an animal. Published by Rusty Ogre Publishing. PRAISE FOR VANITY KILLS "An amazing blend of medical thriller and body horror, with cinematic prose, skillfully realistic dialogue, and a slow-burn narrative full of dread, regret, and trauma." - Milt Theodossiou, Reviewer "Erica Summers writes with an eloquence in horror that I've not seen in years." - Ash Ericmore, author of The Red Room "Looking forward to watching Summers' star rise because she has the chops. 5 Stars!" - Mort Stone, Reviewer for The Mort Report "Summers drops you right into the story and refuses to let you look away." - Mia Coppola Faller, author of Buried Women Speak "One of my favorite reads this year!" - Justin Boote, author of They Are All Monsters "Creative, terrifying, and beautifully written." - Nat Whiston, author of Feel Her Pain Read more

    • Weird medical horror thriller mystery?

It sure how to describe this one, there are body horror, stories out already, but this is a story, not an attempt to cash in on.

Overall good book. I liked the basis of the drug trial and what was intended and what did to happen with it. I had a hard time keeping up with all of the characters and their stories throughoutthe book. I found some of the adult activities to be over the top. It turned into more horror than i expected.

    • Beware of Dr. Walsh
Format: Kindle
Wow! This story really takes you for a ride. I have to say, the pace was perfect for this genre. There was enough backstory to understand each character's traumas. Now, in the beginning there were a lot of points-of-views to follow, but they came together extremely well. Everything tied in nicely, and it felt like it was written in movie form. Each scene kept me at the edge of my seat at the end. I'm hoping there will be a sequel to this story, but if not, the author definitely set this book up well to be a standalone. If you want some intense action and descriptive gore, definitely check out Vanity Kills. It'll really set off those horror vibes!!! ... show more

    • Graphic revenge story with realistic characters …
Format: Kindle
Review Image by Michael Myett Michael Myett
This was my second try at a book by this author. The first book wasn’t really for me but I’m glad I gave it another go. This book was an excellent medical thriller/revenge story. It was fast paced and keep me interested. The characters were interesting, believable and the dialog was realistic. I don’t want to spoil the story by giving anything away but I will say you should definitely pick this one up if you enjoy horror. Heads up — this book can be a bit graphic at times so watch out for triggers. I listened to the audio and the narration was very good and added to the overall effect of the story. ... show more

What an INCREDIBLE book! WOW! From start to finish you judge and then come to understand the characters through stunning descriptors and powerful imagery. So well written. So well executed. When I found out it was a movie (directed by the same writer no less) I was stunned. Truly a purchase you won't regret. ... show more

Is this book really 300+pages? Because I flew through it like it was novella length or something. Which is a good sign. It meant I was busier paying attention to the story than the clock. I'm super curious about this being a movie (which the author hinted about at the end) . Medical stuff always fascinates me, especially experiments of medicine, so this book grabbed my attention once I was made aware of its existence. I recommend this book for people who enjoy the same ... show more

Let’s start with the cover for this one! It boasts “an extreme body horror novel”, and while that’s true, it’s so much more than that. The characters are all flawed and complicated in a way that keeps us invested in their stories. The writing is easy to follow with subtle hints of what’s to come without giving away the twist. I would recommend this one for thriller readers as well as horror. ... show more
