The Island

A killer who leeches the blood from his victims into buckets or anything that it can get its hands on…. Some of them are put on full display, others disappear altogether…. Things spin out of control and the folks on Rokset Island are scared, especially when it returns after a dormancy of 25 years…. What brought It back?Jep, Tony, Frankie, Jim and Phyllis were just 12 years old during the first spree of a killer that came to be known as The Blood Reaper. It didn’t start slow, it started violent and gruesome. It’s 25 years later when they return for a reunion, and it’s then that they realize exactly how much this killer has shaped their lives.Rokset Island is a beautiful island in the middle of the ocean, close to the equator where every day is like the first day of summer. This story is an account of youth, of friendship and growing up in a rural place. It all starts at the beginning where we get to know them as they become friends. Rokset Island is a place where time moves slow, where people are friendly and where nothing ever happens. Until…. that summer of ‘95….When they return 25 years later, there is only one thing that they can do…. And this is what should have been done a good long time ago…. If you like coming of age stories about growing up on one of the most wonderful places on earth and what it’s like to have friendships that run deeper than anything that we establish later in life: then this one is for you. Be warned though: it’s scary, gruesome and a slow-burn…. Only start this journey if you can keep your food down, and if you’re not afraid to see blood…Readers said:“It was quite an interesting read, and the flashbacks gave me as a reader a really pleasant inward view to be able to see things from the perspective of The Gang.”“This is what it’s like to grow up in a rural place, and it’s the murder mystery that turns this account of youth into a great story.”
