Reviews of Hammerhead

I loved this book! Try to think of Maxwell’s Silver Hammer and American Psycho combined into one personality, and you can get the idea behind Hammerhead. Martin is intelligent, charming, very likeable and convincing. He justifies every one of his murders so well that the reader is sure to agree that he made the world a better place. More than a book about a serial killer, though, this book focuses on the absurd and bizarre, with plenty of humor thrown in the mix. It was well-written and a fun, quick read. Recommended!

This is a great short story! Martin is a pretty interesting character to say the least! As he very casually tells us his killing history, you kind of can’t help but like him, whether you agree with his choices or not. He just makes it seem so normal to literally take a hammer to someone’s head because they have in some way personally offended you! I found myself laughing out loud at his comments about how horrible these people (those unlucky enough to make it onto his ‘List’!) were and how much he hated them, so he HAD to kill them, duh!?! It was his job. Not getting at all that his reaction and follow through might be a little extreme!
Another wonderfully written, super entertaining short story!
