Lots of reviews are praising this story, but to me, the whole concept seems very disrespectful, in several different ways. If this had been the first story I would not have kept going with the anthology.

A twisted tale of sacrifices and obligations - and how they can be misinterpreted outside of their origins. It's a story that will make you think, though the conclusions are not for the squeamish. For that matter, the story isn't either.

Well that escalated quickly (literally).
From deranged serial killer to burdened savior. I didn't expect dark gods to make an appearance, but that was a great touch.

The first 'story' I really liked in this anthology (the Brian evenson one doesn't count), this is an imaginative spin on the Serial Killer trope that manages to enter pure lovecraftian territory. The real beauty in this story is, to be honest, it's ability to move from small town murders to apocalyptic scenario without seeming forced. It isn't scary but it is horrifying and dark and works on multiple philosophical levels - questioning monotheism along the way. I loved it.
