Brain Cradle — William J. Donahue

Everybody's afraid of something snakes or spiders, God or the Devil, death or life. The list seems to unravel into infinity, spiraling into the abyss. Brain Cradle: Menagerie of the Perverse teeters on the boundaries of fear, starting in the dusky bogs of the Southeast, leading to the urban wastelands of the Midwest, and ending in the fiery bowels of Hell. The scenery changes from page to page, but the shaggy blanket of terror remains thick and heavy almost smothering.Through seven twisted tales of horror and warped humor, Brain Cradle explores the ugly worlds of paranoia and dread what some consider the precursors to suicide, the penitentiary or a one-way ticket to Hell s boiling cauldron.
