A homeless man strikes a deal to trade his right arm for $2 million, but quickly finds out that the whole thing is a rouse and is slowly turned in to a modern day Frankenstein’s monster.  Gord Rollo spins a tale that starts with the desperation of the homeless to make better lives for themselves and/or their loved ones and shows how a deal with the devil, in this case, a crazy doctor hellbent on rebuilding his son’s body, rarely works out as intended.  Mike Fox, the protagonist, signed up to give away an arm and ended up as a patchwork of many different pieces, with only his original head and spinal column in place.

I had never heard of Rollo before coming across this book, which I assume was available for free from the Kindle store.  It was an interesting tale, and I’m glad that I ended up reading it, but I don’t know that I’ll be checking out any of his other works.  It’s not that I didn’t enjoy the book, but I haven’t really spent much time delving into the horror genre lately.  Maybe some day in the future.
