Eventually, that becomes about as interesting as listening to someone go over and over and over their breakup with someone they've dated for only three weeks an obsession no one else shares. Part of the problem with the way the story is told is that it really feels like the author is trying to work out some of "his" (there is speculation that Nace may actually be a woman) issues and twisted aggression here.

Really.Īs told here with all the panache of a child pulling wings from a fly, the story is repetitive and monotonous, as our anti-hero, Dyke Mellis, trains the giant insects to not eat him for a good three-quarters of the book’s 160 pages. ![]() Years later he plots revenge using a horde of human-sized, flesh-eating praying mantises. One of them tries to abscond with the cash, and the others cut off his dick. Its basic plot is intriguing enough for fans of the lurid, just like me: A quartet of men rob and murder an old man for his stashed loot.
