Abattoir - Paperback

by R. H. Gründ (Author)

"AFTER THE LAST OF THEM DEPARTED, THERE FOLLOWED A DEATHLY QUIET, AN UNPRECEDENTED STILLNESS-AND THEN CAME THE SOUNDS, UNHEARD, UNAPPRECIATED. THE HARD BREAK OF CHAIN UNLINKED. THE WET SNAP OF FLESH UNTETHERED. THE COSMIC ROAR OF BEAST UNBRIDLED."

After the vicious murder of his parents, soldier Jesus Alarcón pursues vengeance. His quest puts him on a collision course with the embittered Sarah Creed, who seeks her own retribution against the forces that corrupted her life.

Plunged into a dark underworld inhabited by those who worship the "room of cloth," will they rediscover the people they once were or abandon themselves to their new, depraved reality?

The sequel to ROOM OF CLOTH, ABATTOIR escalates the prior novel's exploration of "the darkest knots of the human condition" (M. Cantor) and imagines a world in which all choices have been wiped away except the most fundamental of all: life or death.
