Book Description

One dark and warm October night in the heart of Arizona, a group of friends are out for an evening of fun. It was a night for celebration, and to draw them away from the world.

As they drink the night away, a dark and handsome stranger watches them in the distance. His observations going unnoticed as the girls focus on their own conversation.

The publisher and author will be donating all royalties from this title to local food banks from 11/26/2012 – 12/26/2012.

Too drunk to make it home on their own, the stranger offers the group a ride home in his taxi. Reluctantly, the girls agree.

What follows is a dark and brutal act of revenge decades in the making.

-This title is a short story.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful thriller packed in a short story! May 13, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
A fabulous suspense thriller short story! I don't want to tell you anything about the story because it's too short and I don't want to give anything away, but I was hooked from the start and read it in one sitting without putting it down. It's probably not for the faint of heart, but if you love a good serial killer type thriller, I think you'll love this great short story!

5.0 out of 5 stars Spine Tingling Grusomeness! September 8, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
So, this won't be a long review. But it will be a review that will praise this author like crazy and recommend this short story with a high rating!

I was asked by this awesometastic author to review this in honor of his newest short story release, Brutal 2. I was all for it, of course, because, after all, I fell in love with his work when I read his horror thrillers Cry Of The Fallen and A Death At the North Pole. I didn't know what to expect with this one, though, for it was just 14 pages long. But, I was super happy with the outcome, that's for sure!

In just a few short pages, Joel takes brutality to a whole new level. Charley Walker is out to seek revenge for his father's death. After all, it killed his mother, too. So, he starts with 3 innocent women......all connected to his fathers death.

I could literally feel myself transforming into Charley Walker. I felt his vengeance. I felt his anger and pain. But, I was also the 3 women. Every fear, every scream, became mine. I can't believe how real the horror felt to me! The brutality with which Charley Walker put forth was absolutely, gruesomely, amazing.

Well, so much for a short review! But, I couldn't help myself. This was AWESOME. I highly, highly recommend this story to everyone who loves a good combination of thrilling horror, gruesome scenes and spine tingling fear. I'll be careful who I talk to on the street after this 5 Book worthy story, that's for sure! FAN-AWESOME-TABULOUS WORK, JOEL!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent! September 8, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
Joel M. Andre is an incredible talent that never fails to delight. Brutal takes a look at just how far a man will go to avenge the death of his father. This is the first in a series and the ending leads perfectly into the next installment.

Haunting and engrossing, Mr. Andre manages to craft a tale that lets the reader become completely entranced within the scenes and the characters. This is no small feat for a short story. The twisted mind of the antagonist is incredible and the ways in which he exacts his vengeance is definitely not for the weak of heart nor the weak of stomach. Excellently vivid scenes and characterization make for a not-to-be-missed story! I highly recommend Brutal to any readers looking for a quick but unforgettable read!

More About the Author

Joel M. Andre (1981-Present) was born in Cottonwood, Arizona.

From a young age Andre knew his passion was to write tales that shocked and sent chills down the spines of readers. But it was not where he began.

During his teen years he focused his attention to writing poetry in the style of Poe. His work dark often lifted the brow of friends. But the passion was there, and soon the winter wonderland that consumed Lauren Bruni was created.

Fall 2011 will find him releasing a new book called Black Hill Manor.
