    About this ebook

    "It is what it is. That's her car out there and, well, that's her right there."

    Jeremy looks at the woman again. There's a few flies dipping in and out of the back of her skull.

    "What happened to her?"

    I feel a little uncomfortable. I wasn't really planning to lay it all out like this.

    "Well, I hate to say this but I killed her."

    Jeremy nods slowly. He's starting to take this in and I'm relieved.

    "Don't ask me why. Anything I say is just gonna sound ridiculous."

    I rub my hand in my hair. I want to appear frustrated.

    "Things just got out of control."

    Bob Clark owns the Self Serve in Cashtown Corners. It's the only business there and Bob is the only resident. He's never been comfortable around other people. Until he starts to kill them. And murder, Bob soon discovers, is magic. People Live Still in Cashtown Corners is Bob's account of a tragedy we all thought was senseless.

      I'm not entirely sure what the point of this was, unless it was just "here's someone with very little connection to reality and a whole lot of bodies." Not my favorite kind of story. The true-crime-style photo section in the middle did add an interesting layer of creepiness, but that's not enough to make it interesting.
    • 4/5
      I read this immediately after The Seven Days of Peter Crumb. Both books have a similar "plot" (yes, that is using the word "plot" VERY loosely), but Cashtown is much more "sensible"; the main character is more believable and his actions, while extreme, *could* have happened the way they are described (not so with Crumb).The book starts off with the attitude that murder is just another activity in the day... pump gas, buy groceries, murder someone, watch TV... ho-hum...The tone does change around the midway point - and becomes more chaotic, gory and extreme. It almost has a feel of a true crime story (and the pictures in the middle of the book encourage this conclusion)... which I think makes the story especially disturbing.I guess it could be thought of as a glimpse inside the head of a psychopath, complete with his own reasonings as to why he's psycho. While it is kind of similar to American Psycho, this one is more chaotic, and the crimes more... err.. aggressive and extreme.
