Trapped
By Jack Kilborn / J.A. Konrath. A little slow going at first, many characters to introduce. But once it gets going, zowie! Really fun and gory and gross. I liked the tie-in to the earlier AFRAID.
It looked like there were four books listed as a series by Jack Kilborn: Afraid, Trapped, Endurance and Haunted House. Now it seems that Kilborn is no longer being used as a pen name, and there is an 11-book series being called “The Konrath Dark Thriller Collective,” of which those are numbers three through six.
I’m keeping with the original series of four. I read Endurance a while ago, and loved it. Quick, action-packed, silly and disgusting. Had a real Jack Ketchum vibe, but a bit goofier. I’m not sure how it ties in to Afraid and Trapped: I dimly recall a giant as bad guy, who may also have been in Afraid. Maybe that’s the connection.
I think I’ll press on to Haunted House next.

I’m glad someone’s working on that!

Woman caught on video carrying pig’s head
Authorities believe that woman is Amarillis Cermeno, 54, who is charged with stealing a Baby Jesus statue from the Nativity scene in front of Sacred Hearts Church and replacing it with the severed head of a pig.
She also was arrested for writing “666” on the side of a church.
That officer of the court behind her is checking her out: “Yeah, I’d hit that, Satanist or not.” Or: “She smells like dill pickles on an everything bagel.”

Redistribution of wealth through vandalism
Whenever he saw a luxury car, he felt like ramming it off the road.
Who do these people think they are? Who drives a car that costs as much as a college education? How obscene, to roll that much concentrated wealth around at 70 miles per hour.
