In my experience

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.

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.”
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.
