Roderick Whithers is guilty, now he must face his demons.
A tale of madness, monsters, and misogyny, The Tormentors tells the story of a
prosperous family man who is plagued by three hellish women only he can see. As
his mind begins to unravel, Roderick’s desperate wife Elizabeth seeks the
answers to her husband’s ailment, which may lay buried in his dark past. Are
these demons of Roderick’s vengeful spirits or avenging angels? Elizabeth must
uncover the truth to save Roderick’s mind and end his crazed rampage.
of weeks ago I received an email from Jack Phoenix with the question if I
wanted to read and review his book ‘The Tormentors’. This book is a horror
novel and not something I would have chosen normally. But I like a new
challenge and decided to give this book a change. So a couple of days ago I
started reading ‘The Tormentors’.
liked about ‘The Tormentors’ was the writing style and the way this book immediately
grasps your attention. From the very first page the excitement and horror
starts. Reading this book you can obviously tell that Jack Phoenix is a great
story teller. This book I well written and full of dark twists.
really like the characters in this book. But in the end I think these
characters aren’t meant to be liked. The
main characters Roderick and Elizabeth are not what they seem to be. Roderick
is just a terrible person and Elizabeth I found to be a very selfish person. Elizabeth
was not a bad person but she just really needs to get her priorities straight.
the only character I liked a little was Wade, Elizabeth’s friend. He is a great
friend and does everything he can to help Elizabeth. And he loves books..
horror aspect of this book wasn’t really for me. I found the three ‘hellish
women’ a little disturbing. Not quite scary but very gross. What I did like was
the way these women where after revenge and really went after the right person.
In most horror movies I saw it’s always the good person who’s got the devil
after him. Never the bad guy. I really liked the way the bad guy got punished in
this book.
the end of reading this book I can conclude that this book is very well
written, full of twists you can’t imagine but still not a book for me. But for
people who like horror and a couple of disturbing hellish women this is
definitely a nice read.
