End Times, A Disturbingly Different Level of Horror

Scott is a man who has lived a hard, sad life. He suffers from an addiction to heroin. He is missing all of the fingers on both ands and has to make do with only his thumbs, a fact that is disturbingly presented throughout the book. He is working as a journalist with peers who he doesn't really like and who don't like him. The only thing good in his life seems to be his friend Sebby, a quadriplegic that Scott met at a drug rehab program. Mia, a mysterious Indian girl, steps into his life and changes everything. She sees him as he is and still seems to love him. Mia becomes like a drug to his troubled mind, an addiction that he just can't quit thinking about. Everything seems to be going his way until he finds out who Mia is - a dangerous mystery from his past that has come to the present with the purpose of making him pay for what he did to her. The story follows him from his life as a bum, trying to eke out an existence on the hard city streets, to his joining a dangerous and twisted cult that required horrible sacrifices for their god, Voice, and then to his life as a writer and his journey into self-discovery and destiny. The story is written in first person and is filled with pain and longing. At first I couldn't stand the main character, his world and views being a far cry from my own, but as the novel progresses he seems to change, becoming a character that I began to relate to and sympathize with. All of the characters are created with the utmost depth, dark and believable. This book touches on all the emotions. As I read Scott's tale I felt his pain, love, hatred, longing, fear and humor.

Youers delivers a tour-de-force

With End Times, Youers delivers a tour-de-force that chills the blood, raises the pulse, plucks our emotional strings, and weaves the reader into the story with a unique voice that pushes the envelope of dark fiction. Youers does not follow trends. Nor does he rely on blood and guts to scare the reader. For the author, a scare just won't do. Due to this, many readers give thanks. This is why his work grabs you and won't let go, resonating long after you finish. His characters are real people that we can actually identify with, and most importantly, we care about them. Their emotions become our own. Dare I say you may even shed a tear... I know I sure did. That said; make no mistake, End Times is a very dark novel, indeed.

We find Scott Hennessey (A.K.A. Scott No Fingers) a scarred, yet triumphant man. Scott used to be a heroin addict that dropped out of school and lived on the streets, doing anything he could for another hit.
