Joe from AudioBook Reviewer recently gave The Sadist’s Bible a listen. And the results?… Story (Plot) Performance Production Quality Attention Holding Overall: The story does hold the listener’s attention.

Christopher Shultz of LitReactor.com recently conducted a wonderful interview with Nicole Cushing, author of The Sadist Bible and Stoker Nominee for her novel, Mr. Suicide.

Without giving too much away, the final scenes in The Sadist’s Bible reminded me of a way more fucked up version of Midian, the monster realm in Clive Barker’s Nightbreed.
