The novels:

  • Complete Monster: In Forty Words for Sorrows, Eric Fraser, with the help of his girlfriend and partner-in-crime Edie Soames, kidnaps, tortures and outright murders teenagers. His first victim was the thirteen-year-old Katie Pine, whom he ditched in a mine shaft after he fatally tortured her. His second victim, Todd Curry was filmed on a videotape that showed Eric hitting Todd in the head with a hammer until Todd's death. His third and final murder was Billy La Belle, who was Buried Alive. One day, when eighteen-year-old Keith London visits town, he meets up with the seemingly-nice couple Eric and Edie, who invite him to their home, where Eric drugs him and ties him up, planning to find a place where he can film his death. One night, when a burglar called Woody, breaks into their house and tries to free Keith, Eric arrives and shoots Woody dead. Eric only pretends to love the low-self-esteem Edie and even describes her as nothing more than a "reptile pet" to help him with his murderous schemes. When Keith tries to break loose and holds Edie hostage, Eric has no qualms with knocking her down with a crowbar in order to catch Keith and kill him.
