Chapter 1

"Fake!!! Fake!!! Fake!!! Why do they always end up fake?!!" The screeching voice reverberated off the canyon walls as the knife sliced into the soft flesh of the blonde’s bared breasts. Her inanimate body slammed into the hard-packed earth with each frenzied thrust. Her glazed eyes stared vacantly into the blackness, no longer seeing, as the crazed man she had so foolishly trusted continued his maniacal hacking.

Finally spent, he sat back on his haunches, his scrawny body dripping with the blood he had so carelessly spilled, and watched as the bloody and lifeless body thumped back onto the chaparral.

"Why Dixie?" the man heaved. "Why do you girls always end up being just another plastic surgeon’s hack job? Why are you always so phony?" He kneeled forward gazing at the mutilated body of the young beauty and sighed. "You really had potential, Dixie. Such a shame," he muttered, wiping the back of his hand across his face, smearing the coagulating ooze along his cheekbones. He stood, wiping the blade of the knife on his jeans. "See ya, Dixie," he mumbled, turning and hiking back up the rugged terrain to his Mercedes and into the darkness of Mulholland Drive.

I bought this book and LITTLE NEW YORK BA$TARD by M. Dylan Raskin as part of an Amazon two-for-almost-the-price-of-one. They're both very different books but I highly recommend both of them.
