The author himself, Robert Dean, asked me to review a copy of his book, and I was more than happy to oblige. When he told me what it was about and I saw the publisher (May December Publications), I was definitely on board.
In this novel, you’re taken into the mind of Arthur Reilly,
a war vet who lives through VE-Day, and in the process sees horrors most can’t
even imagine. After watching his platoon get completely wiped out, Reilly snaps
and develops, more or less, the worst case of shell-shock in history. He
believes he sees visions of hell and the devil, and it causes him to absolutely
snap.
