Survivor
J. F. Gonzalez's short novel Maternal Instinct won instant praise from readers and critics. At 40,000 words, it packed a powerhouse punch that left a lasting impression on the minds of even the most jaded horror fans, and was unflinching in its emotional intensity. Readers were unprepared for the savagery in its narrative of a young couple separated in the aftermath of a road-rage incident that quickly spiraled into a descent of depravity and violence at the hands of an underground snuff film ring. They were even more shocked at its ending.
Now for the first time, the original short novel has been expanded into a full-length narrative. Tormented by the decision she made, Lisa Miller plunges into a deep depression. When her husband learns of the extreme measures she took to save herself and their unborn child, he is left empty and horrified at the knowledge that his wife's abductors escaped with the ability to hunt them down. Surely they would not be content to let her escape...
Some things deserve to be kept secret... at any price.
