About this listen

The extraordinary, reflective, obscene, cruel, and violent story of Vincent Campbell, son of the President of the United States.

To the public eye, Vincent Campbell is seen as a controversial figure known for his bizarre behavior, offensive outbursts, and contrarian stances—on top of a number of legal issues. Unbeknownst to most of the world, however, he holds secrets far worse than derogatory remarks in his personal life. And when it catches up to him, he tells all to a forensic psychiatrist, Lorraine Lynch, who has been assigned to find out why he has done what he has done.

Vincent speaks candidly about his life of utter depravity and extreme violence. He tells stories of lust and love, justice and corruption, conspiracies and cover-ups, and criminals and crimes. He discusses his confidential travels through Asia, the Middle East, and other regions throughout the globe from his tour of carnage. But as their sessions continue and Vincent’s stories grow more and more grotesque, Lorraine finds herself struggling to separate fact from fiction.

Who really is Vincent Campbell?

Jon Athan, the prolific author behind The Groomer and The Girl in the Attic, presents his most disturbing and provocative novel to date. See the world through a bloody lens in this extreme horror epic.

Warning: This novel contains graphic content. Listener discretion is advised. Seriously.

As a fan of general horror, I was looking for the next step up, however, it was a bit too gruesome/torturous for me.But I can see how some people would like it, and I think there is always a space for this type of literature. So although I would not read another book from this genre, it’s not a reflection on the book itself.

Not for me!

This is a really good book for those of us that enjoy the gory and shocking type of things, it was somewhat difficult to keep listening because of the performance but if you can get past the narrator it’s a great book!
Splatterpunk fans will enjoy :)

Disgusting, humorous and raw

Would love a sequel, definitely need to see what happens next. I have already recommended this book to so many of my conspiracy theorists friends 

Loved it

It just goes on and on and it gets repetitive. Didn't hit the mark for me.

Boring

I feel like the story is just a bit silly, and it repeatedly showcases things which aren’t particularly necessary, after the first couple brutal murders i already fully comprehend that Vincent is a psychopath, i need no more further demonstration of such a thing, specially when the scenes which do that are particularly gruesome, and at times almost downright “comedic” (as far as that word can be applied) because of how over-the-top the violence is. I would rather have followed Laurie, see what she can uncover about these things, which there’s an attempt to do, but it’s way too short, and almost pointless, as she just kinda gives up on verifying all of Vincent’s stories after his literal family tells him that he’s lying, which they’d clearly be motivated to do, we could’ve seen her attempt to get testimony from other people which are connected to these cases, but she makes no more efforts, it would’ve made for a way better read if all the time we spent talking about “adrenochrome” and Hitler was spent instead further developing how Laurie actually deals with the situation, and how she could seek some form of justice, which the story completely primes her to do, since it’s remarked repeatedly that she’s in complete opposition to all of Vincent’s beliefs/actions.

Bit bland at times.
