Today I woke up in a dead guy’s coffin… underneath someone else’s body.
Me… William Branch… the King of True Crime… it’s not even the deluxe model for crap’s sake. And… good God in Heaven, it stinks of another man’s disease.
Hold on. I need a moment to get a grip on my sanity. As you can imagine, my mind is… well, tripping all over itself but I want to tell my story before it’s too late.
Surely you’re curious as to how I ended up here — in this thing, this chariot to hell. Or perhaps you’re more interested in what I did to piss off someone that grandly.
Well, I’ll weave you my tale and you can draw your own conclusions.
As I said, my name’s William Branch. You might have seen me on television or read about me. I’ve written fifteen wildly popular true crime books. Last year, I sold the rights to one for a movie. I’m slated to contract for another three later this year. I would say that my career is a hot commodity right now.
In the looks department I’m not one of the best looking of guys and I don’t have muscles up the wazzu. In fact, I am of average height and women typically describe me as… well, average.
What I do have is money and lots of it. Of course, in my youth I was poor but now money’s no big deal to me, not since I married into it anyway. Now I have my own and my wife’s.
Plus I’m smart. Money and smarts trump good looks any day of the week.
Yes, life’s looking good.
And yet here I am, waiting to become a crispy critter. Ironically, this is the one story line I never covered. A man being flash fried for —
Crap! The whoosh of the cremator furnace firing up just rocked my coffin. Jesus… I didn’t realize the vibration could come through the coffin walls. I better get on with it.
It all started with that damn Karina…
Scorn Kills Description:
Scorn Kills is the dark, twisty story of what can happen when a man who breaks both his holy marriage vows and the contract he signed in blood.
You could ask Bill about his tale, but right now he’s got a big problem. You see, somehow, he woke up in some dead guy’s coffin, underneath someone else’s body; and now he has to worry about that crematory furnace he can hear firing up.
Scorn Kills has been called a kind of cool Twilight Zone- esque novel with unusual twists and turns. It gets into the head of the Bill Branch as he gets himself deeper, and deeper down a path of destruction. You can decide for yourself if he deserves what happens to him.
The story of Scorn Kills is unique and not like any other.
