MEFISTO IN ONYX
Think SCANNERS crossed with SILENCE OF THE LAMBS as related by Jim Thompson and you’ll have the gist of this weird and wonderful novella by Harlan Ellison.

1973’s THE EXORCIST remains one of the most successful and enduring horror movies of all time yet, Hollywood being as it is, multiple sequels were an inevitability.
This is the official sequel to THE EXORCIST (the novel) written by its creator William Peter Blatty. Most of the things that made THE EXORCIST such a memorable read are in evidence in LEGION, including page-turning suspense, strong characterizations and a powerful sense of raging evil.
There’s never been another first person psycho novel like this one, nor a character quite like Lou Ford, THE KILLER INSIDE ME’s disturbed protagonist.
HERO AND THE TERROR inspired little attention of any sort; there’s a reason for the neglect, of course, as truth be told this simply isn’t a very good book.
A short (98 page) tale of a voracious sex murderess, the novel is related in a jaunty and refined tone that dramatically offsets its depraved content
He (together with co-writer Michael Easton) takes to the form like a natural, spinning a fractured, visually oriented yarn that works extremely well in graphic form.
A profoundly strange, jaunty and satiric look at art, death and everything in between by the incomparable Zoran Zivkovic.
The spirit of Jim Thompson is given a memorably demented workout in this first-person psycho fest.
What we have here is essentially a feminist minded DEATH WISH, although this novel presents itself as something far deeper
