Resumen del Editor
Everyone has demons…
…but for Josef, evil has a name. After confronting an old enemy, Josef is left with a particular gift, granting him untold opportunities. But, as with everything, this comes at a hefty price. Each time he’s confronted with using his new found gift, Josef has to convince himself it’s for the better. As his life spirals out of control, Josef must decide whether he can reign in the new power or be consumed by it.
In the Splatterpunk Award-nominated novel, Left to You, 70 years of Josef’s story goes untold. For the Better sheds light on that tale, giving an in-depth look into one man’s struggle with Hell on Earth.
Could you kill innocence if you thought it was for the better?

Still reeling from a brutal dismemberment, detective Kline is forcibly recruited to solve a murder inside a religious cult that takes literally the New Testament idea that you should cut off your hand if it offends you. Armed only with his gun, his wits, and a gift for self-preservation, Kline must navigate a gauntlet of lies, threats, and misinformation. All too soon he discovers that the stakes are higher than he thought and that his survival depends on an act of sheer will.

To serial slayer Andrew Compton, murder is an art, the most intimate art. After feigning his own death to escape from prison, Compton makes his way to the United States with the sole ambition of bringing his “art” to new heights. Tortured by his own perverse desires, and drawn to possess and destroy young boys, Compton inadvertently joins forces with Jay Byrne, a dissolute playboy who has pushed his “art” to limits even Compton hadn’t previously imagined.

At Shadows Casino, this isn’t just a phrase, it’s a grim reality. Far from prying eyes is a world of decadent pleasure, and unimaginable pain, where only the desperate or the rich dare to tread. Cee is the leader of the sinister establishment, but that hasn’t always been her story. Long before she'd ever heard of a parlay or letting it ride, Cee was just a little girl with a daddy who liked to gamble. And when her daddy brought her into Shadows, he made a bet that changed both of their lives forever.

Lay provost Eldon Fochs is a happily married father of four. Based on his disturbing dreams, he may also be a sex criminal. His therapist isn’t sure, and his church is determined to protect its reputation. Written from the perspectives of Fochs, his analyst Dr. Alexander Feshtig, and the letters exchanged between Feshtig and his superiors in the church, Father of Lies is Brian Evenson’s fable of power, paranoia, and the dangers of blind obedience. It offers a terrifying vision of how far institutions will go to protect themselves from the innocents who may be their victims.

Thanks for the Prequel...Midquel....Before the last book-quel
Before I get into this review, I wanted to say the voice actor did an amazing job bringing Joseph and Belphegor to life. I was truly and appropriately horrified by both and their actions for different reasons.
This book fills in the gaps of how Joseph got saddled with the demon and how that possession just decimated his life while extending it. This story echoes the phrase "Be careful of what you wish for...". Mr. Volpe reminds me once again, why I keep coming back to his books. Obviously I love filthy chaos and I should definitely seek help. Lol. Just kidding.
I come back to Mr. Volpe because he has a "knack" for incredible storytelling regardless of his expert use for vile circumstances. He is a surgeon at utilizing wordplay and he doesn't shy away from sensitive topics of social concern. His works often ask us to examine why one does what they do and at what cost. This book does the same wrapped in gore painted words.
That said this book was a short dose of "Volpeism". Pay the gross no attention (Okay don't it's deliciously demented) and understand what is being said. You'll find yourself as a Volpe-ist in no time.
