SAM WAYNE is a specialist in anger management, and business is good. He devours the rage around him greedily, blurring the line between man and demon. A violent murderer is on the loose, tearing people apart with his bare hands. Anyone who sees him cannot seem to make out his face, except... COLLEEN, a broken young woman who tries to run as far as can and meets up with VIV, who has an insatiable hunger for human souls, and feeds on them like Sam feeds on anger. As the murders multiply, the rage begins to spread like an epidemic. Everywhere, people start attacking each other. Viv, her brother Grif, and Colleen race against time to stop Sam before his rage devours the world. But not everyone will survive the fury of LIFE RAGE! ***** "Soares' debut novel is a blend of sexually charged psychological, supernatural, and extreme horror. We're introduced to people who may or may not be demons and some seriously hurting characters who are dealing with different levels of rage, anxiety, and depression...It's like an apocalyptic take on the serial killer thing, complete with almost half of the United States falling victim to the proceedings...LIFE RAGE is NOT for the squeamish!" - The Horror Fiction Review "LIFE RAGE conjures up Richard Laymon at his darkest, most visceral. If you like your fiction marinated in blood and sex, then this is the book for you." - Gary Raisor, Bram Stoker finalist for LESS THAN HUMAN "L.L. Soares is a master of blunt-force drama. His fiction is fueled with violence and sexuality and an unflinchingly honest view of humanity. LIFE RAGE is a gritty, disturbing thrill ride that left me breathless right up to the last page." - Peter N. Dudar, Bram Stoker finalist for A REQUIEM FOR DEAD FLIES
