Authors, Writers, Publishers, and Book Readers
Epic, that word gets thrown around a lot, probably at times, too much. But in this case, it is most accurate. Crouch and Konrath are right now the tip of the spear in this eworld we live in. This download has more gadgets on it then on anything I have seen. Plus the disclaimer at the beginning, I love it. Fortunately with aid of heavy medication and an understanding wife I can sleep at night, the recurring plotline just keeps running through my mind, over and over and over: the carnage, the hate, the bad guys, they just keep coming and coming and coming. Speaking of that, you should go back to my interview with Blake Crouch last Friday as I think he may be adding a new addendum to the disclaimer thanks to yours truly, I think it fits. Here is the link:

Okay so what exactly are you in for on this monster download, this gruesome gathering of bad guys, the dream team of blood, guts, and gore:
“A gigantic double novel featuring 21 different serial killers...
For everyone who thinks the bad guys are so much more fun to read than the good guys, this is a book just for you. The definitive volume containing every major villain from the Crouch/Kilborn/Konrath Universe is here.
First, there was Serial, the collaborative smash-hit that has been downloaded 500,000 times and optioned for film.
Then came Serial Uncut, which expanded on that story.
Then Killers, the sequel to Serial.
Then Birds of Prey which introduced every major villain the writers had ever created into one cohesive novel. (Birds of Prey + Killers = Killers Uncut.)
And now, all that and more has been brought together for this definitive, omnibus monster, which at roughly 600 printed pages, is the length of two full novels...
Serial Killers Uncut
This epic work, over two years in the making, contains Serial Uncut, Killers, Birds of Prey, Crouch's Break You, an interview with the authors, and more.
Serial Uncut + Break You + Killers + Birds of Prey = Serial Killers Uncut
If you haven't read anything by Crouch, Kilborn, or Konrath, Serial Killers Uncut is the perfect introduction to the dark side of their universe. And if you enjoy a despicable bad guy (or bad girl), you're going to love this.
There are twenty-one serial killers featured in this book: Lucy and Donaldson from Serial, Orson and Luther from Desert Places, Locked Doors, and Break You, Mr. K from Shaken, Alex and Charles Kork from Whiskey Sour and Rusty Nail, Isaiah from Abandon, Taylor from Afraid, Javier from Snowbound, and many, many more.
There are some good guys too, including Andrew Z. Thomas (Desert Places, Locked Doors), Jack Daniels (Whiskey Sour, Shaken), Violet King (Locked Doors, Break You), Tequila (Shot of Tequila), and Clayton Theel (Draculas).
At $4.99, this ebook is a steal, as its contents retail separately for almost $10.00...
Serial Killers Uncut is an original 120,000 word double novel that stands alone without having read any of Konrath's, Kilborn's, or Crouch's work. As a bonus extra, it also includes an additional 30,000 words of the following novel excerpts:
AFRAID by Jack Kilborn, ENDURANCE by Jack Kilborn, TRAPPED by Jack Kilborn
SHAKEN by JA Konrath
DRACULAS by Blake Crouch, JA Konrath, Jeff Strand, and F. Paul Wilson
DESERT PLACES by Blake Crouch, LOCKED DOORS by Blake Crouch, FAMOUS by Blake Crouch, SNOWBOUND by Blake Crouch, ABANDON by Blake Crouch, RUN by Blake Crouch

I really think that I have the bases covered with the Amazon description there. What the description does not tell you though, is the true mastery of these guys. The time and effort that went into this is apparent very quickly. Just by clicking on different things you can find out what novels that particular character appeared in, and a host of other info. Blake went into great detail during our interview on how it was put together and the time element. Incredible stuff! My new goal is be totally, totally killed by one or both of these incredible authors. I am prepared and willing to die a gruesome death at their hands. I mean what author would not want to off a blogger/blogtalk host/author anyway. It would be like a fast ball down the middle of the plate for Ryan Howard.
