Horror thrives in our collective memory―Dahmer, eating his way through our dreams, devouring our stable unconsciousness―Gasey, the insidiousness of killer clown humor―the Ripper, gold standard of mysterious perversity―Jason, Krueger, Michael Meyers―mayhem without reason―the Indestructible! Villains fall, lie forgotten, pale in our minds, until they rise. But something more insidious walks this world. It is without pity, strikes without mercy. It has no soul.
And it isn't pretty. Or is it? The Visicuous is a master of disguise, manifesting infinite possibilities, and adopts a clever and alluring husk. It strikes from the womb of a most alluring woman. Demons and vampires remain as shadows in the realms of myth and unreason...so too, the Visicuous. The truth is obviated―the killer is torn from another place and time. An enigma…hiding in plain sight. The Visicuous is shocking, terrifying and erotic…a first-rate SF thriller...compelling, illuminating, and deeply disturbing.
plot big enough for the big screen. Forchette introduces a nightmarish antagonist, a creature bizarre enough to confound 21st Century alienists. Milwaukee detectives pursue a killer whose baffling methods are brutal and obscene. Here is a serial murderer more manipulative and insidious than any predecessor. The lure―a beautiful seductress; in any universe, a cosmic Siren. The killer―an alien lifeform, a bio-weapon entrenched within the womb, Death lurking as a hideous and impossible hunter. The prey―human men swayed by lust and the ease of conquest. The cop―blinded by love, fearful of his own suspicions, chasing shadows of the mind. The Visicuous is a first-rate thriller―at once horrifying and erotic, tense and sexually charged, it pushes the boundaries of the incredible the acceptable and raises the bar on sci-fi horror.
An alien parasite developed as a galactic terrorist makes its way to Earth and takes up residence in the womb of a beautiful woman. Her childhood was spent in abuse at the hands of a step-father she both loved and abhorred. Under the influence of the alien, she becomes a kind of sexual lure, a Jekyll and Hyde serial killer known as the Eater…murdering men that remind her of the abuser. Ironically, the police detective in charge of the case is her fiancée. Influenced by his abundant virtue, the woman and the alien symbiont take the higher road, leaving clues in the form of cannibalized victims twisted into recognizable shapes.
