From the Publisher

J. F. Gonzalez has created a novella that will keep readers gripping the pages a little harder. MATERNAL INSTINCT is a tour-de-force of both horror and suspense -- a gateway into the underworld in which Gonzalez researched during the creation of this novella.

This is perhaps one of the most intense novellas out there and shows why Gonzalez is considered by many to be the next big author in the horror genre. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful writing, December 11, 2005
By 
This review is from: Maternal Instinct (Paperback)
I really hated this book, not simply as a matter of personal opinion, but because it was a perfect example of really bad writing. The characters were unsympathetic and at times their motivation unbelievable, readers were knocked upside the head with plot devices, and worst of the worst, there was a section with several pages of exposition, the main villian of the story explaining how he got into making snuff films. ANY rambling exposition like that is ridiculous in a published work, but to top it all off it wasn't even believable.

5.0 out of 5 stars The underground world of snuff films..., June 25, 2002
This review is from: Maternal Instinct (Paperback)
This was an excellent novella by J.F. Gonzalez. Its all about a couple who go on vaction and get seperated. The woman gets kidnapped and has a very good chance to star in her very own film...

...a snuff film! Oh and by the way, shes pregnent and has to not only fend for her life but for her unborn child's as well.

This book was quite graphic in a good way, I won't tell you much more but first you will want to read a short story in a collection by J.F., _Old Ghosts and Other Revenants_ called "Love Hurts".
