The Killer and I

by Michael Aloisi

Legendary horror movie star, Kane Hodder, and the author of his biography are the odd couple of the horror world. The Killer and I documents the yearlong journey the two spent together writing Kane’s book, The True Life Story of The World’s Most Prolific Cinematic Killer. Everything from Kane playing pranks on Mike to being on film sets, causing trouble at conventions and going on ghost hunts is told in a humorous, light hearted way that will make any fan of Kane’s laugh with delight. I might be bias, but The Killer and I is one of the funniest things I have ever read… If you want to see how I really am these days… read Mike’s journal! -Kane HodderPlease read my journal, I need people to testify at my murder trial…For I know somehow, someday, Kane will be the death of me!-Michael Aloisi

Reviews

[Jean]

As good as the book itself.
I laughed so hard at all the stories Michael told about their 13 months together writing the book.

[Douglas Castagna]

Easily digestible follow up to Unmasked. I found it a bit lacking and it does not really stand on its own, though as a supplementary volume to unmasked it works great. That being said, in order to have any enjoyment from it, you should read Unmasked first. Still, the writers style shows through, and you can tell that he actually enjoyed working with Kane Hodder while writing the book with him.
