Eternal Victim Review

Eternal Victim

By Dexter Morgenstern

Follow the Witness as she travels through a perpetual series of nightmares, haunted by a mixture of pernicious serial killers and their imprisoned, undead victims, known as preta. As she wanders through time and memories shared by the killers and their victims, she fights to solve the puzzle of their connection to each other and to herself. Her only hope of salvation lies in connecting key victims to the souls who can rescue them, thus waking her from the nightmare, but one killer follows the next, bringing forth a new set of victims, a new score of preta, and immediately landing her in a new terror.

MY REVIEW

Eternal Victim is a weird, disturbing story of a girl in a dreamlike reality, running from a killer. She meets several of his victims along her journey to an unknown end. She finds torture and horror at every turn. It doesn’t take her long to figure out that she must search and retrieve trophies, or items that help her to advance in her dream in order to get some semblance of control over what is happening to her. With each advance, she would start back at the beginning, except with all new people. But somehow they were the same people, just in a new identity. And the hunt in identifying the killer begins again.

I am undecided if I liked this story or not. First off, I do not enjoy such graphic torture as was continually exposed to the main character. Then, there was the obvious game player connection. Maybe if I enjoyed role playing, strategic games, I would have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. However, I did appreciate the ghostly aspect of the story. The plot actually wasn’t that hard to follow. It made me try to imagine the reasoning behind everything that was happening and look for clues to the end game.
