"What makes the Asp short stories fascinating may be the fact that the main character actually cares for his victims, and within his rotting, short-circuited brain he actually believes he is working towards improving their lives. He acts in their better interest. And if they happen to... well... not survive his love and attention, he is fulfilled with the knowledge that they received benefit from his help before leaving this plane.

But his love is short-lived. The Asp bores easily, becomes distracted and will move on to someone more "deserving" of his attention. But not before leaving a token of his annoyance -- a sample of his bodily fluid, a dead pet, broken glass strewn on the driveway.

The Asp is rich, but dresses poorly. He's an inventor and a destroyer. And he cares about you. Pray you don't need his help. Ever."

Wow, the best literary find I've made on the net in some time. This fucker is sick... but all comes naturally. He isn't reaching when he comes up with these ideas. They are totally authentic.
