The Least of My Scars

William Colton Hughes is a serial killer whose victims are delivered to his apartment by an unseen benefactor. The story unfolds within the confined space of his apartment, where he receives victims delivered by an unseen benefactor. This arrangement allows him to live out a dark fantasy while avoiding the scrutiny faced by other killers documented in textbooks or news reports. As the deliveries cease, Hughes finds himself isolated and increasingly unstable. He questions whether his employer is actually a warden keeping him imprisoned in what might be a hospital rather than a residence. The narrative explores his descent into madness as he fears returning to menial labor involving dark plastic bags. A mysterious figure named Dashboard Mary emerges with intentions of revenge, threatening to disrupt his fragile mental state. Jones, known for his work in horror and supernatural fiction, crafts a tale that examines isolation and the erosion of sanity. The book suits readers interested in character-driven psychological terror and urban gothic settings. It may not appeal to those seeking traditional jump scares or extensive action sequences. The focus remains tightly on Hughes's internal collapse and the ambiguous nature of his captivity.
