Book Review: Letter From Hell by Matt Shaw

Letter From Hell: A F*cked-Up Short Story by Matt Shaw

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The short story, "Letter From Hell," consists only of a letter written by a 73 year old child killer Laurence Tope to the mother of the victim. it is a quick and brutal read from British horror author Matt Shaw. The letter is very reminiscent to the one written by real life murderer Albert Fish to the parents of his victim Grace Budd. Tope spills out all the details in his correspondence from the kidnapping to the eventual murder and consumption of the child's corpse. Shaw handles such a dark subject delicately, leaving the most gruesome details to the reader's imagination.

"Letter From Hell" is free to Amazon Kindle Unlimited subscribers and costs only 99 cents to everyone else. Check it out.
