Excerpt from the book: "Do not look into the portholes. The sight of mangled faces will strike you frozen. Episodes of indignation. Desolate landscapes. A cloaked man scampers. Sheep flee in terror. Long sharp skewers. Spikes one animal. Lifts it to the sky as it wails in fright. Head in wide mouth. Clenched teeth. Head removed, spat to the ground. Saliva, intermingled with blood. Fingers that scrape, bending back nails. Eruption of the skin, more red oozes down the glass. Hear the laughter surrounding you. They're coming. Coming to devastate your family. Devour your loved ones. Dissect your children. No stone left unturned.
They're watching you."
