Almost Human

Autor Daniel Vaiden DeMarco
en Limba Engleză Paperback
Almost Human is an eighty three thousand word thriller about two serial killers and the detective trying to catch them, but underneath it all it's so much more. The story is an examination of what it means to be human and whether anyone can be inherently good or evil. Roy Morrison is a modern day Jack the Ripper, killing prostitutes while tormented by the voices inside his head. Eventually one of his hallucinations forces him to confront the evils he's caused and the evils he's suffered, to finally find peace. Thomas Danes has been alone and unwanted his whole life. Until he meets charismatic murderer with a mission; Noah Harris. Now these two natural born killers are on a killing spree that will only end in their deaths. Detective Robert Blake's trying to hold it together, but his sanity is slipping. When it's all over he'll be just like Thomas Danes. Is a murderer born evil, or is it something they become? Does a killer have any hope for salvation? Almost Human explore mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, PTSD, depression, and psychopathy. It criticizes our mental health care system and it's inability to help a majority of suffering people. It depicts killers not as monsters but as damaged human beings, human beings that have felt as much pain as they've caused. Almost Human is a story that has never been more applicable. We are living in a time where mass shootings are a regular occurrence, where violence is at an all time high. This neither glorifies nor demonizes these kinds of people. It simply shows the reader what events, what trauma and pain lead to such a devastating conclusion. These killers are our fathers, they are our sons, and they are everywhere. Almost Human shows that no one has to be a killer, but everyone can be. There are no heroes in this story, no villains. Only people.
