A Killing Rain and Other Stories
Reid Laurence,
Publisher: E-Booktime, LLC
ISBN: 1598240218   Edition: Paperback; 2005-05

Summary:

Raymond Mort is a killer — make no mistake — but the lives he takes
don’t fulfill a murderers bloodlust quite as much as they work to
keep him happy and occupied in the strange, make-believe world he’s
self-manufactured out of sheer madness. In doing so, Raymond tries to
snuff out the pain of loneliness and desperation of a tormented early
childhood, which remains a sad part of him for the duration of his
life. A killer, yes, but in reading this shocking tale, you may feel
more pity welling within you than vengeance. Other stories in the
book prove to be rooted in the deep, dark well of human psyche and
pathos, but at times — as in the last tale of a super-intelligent cat
named ‘Carl’ — the author switches moods and takes us to a place in
which most adults have long since left behind them, but with one
agonizing question left unanswered... Are we really who we think we
are, or could there exist some other force — much greater then we —
compelling us to do the things we do? Read on, and find out.
