Super Psycho Future Killers
Cameron Harper is angry. His job at the movie theater is killing him and his life has no purpose … until he finds himself six months in the future watching his theater burn down with everyone he knows inside. What began as a thrilling way to break free from the boredom of his job becomes a maniacal fight to the death with time itself, and Cameron isn’t so sure he’s on the winning side. Feeling to blame for the oncoming six-months-later disaster, he desperately tries to save the lives of his friends, including the maybe-love of his life, while keeping his inner rage from spiraling out of control. There’s a super psycho killer in all of us, and it’s going to take Cameron everything he has to keep from becoming his own.

This book was a cool take on time travel...what happens when your life is sucking you dry with repetitive boredom and you figure out how to time travel to get away from it all. Pretty much sums it up...as well as dealing with some serious issues of what happens when good people turn bad and go off the deep end. The author's knowledge of working in a movie theater give some realistic insight to the tedium of working customer service and how a theater runs...as well as providing some funny situations dealing with unhappy customers. This book has some major chills and thrills as well...taking the reader on some pretty far-out adventures (when time travelling) and let me tell you...the ending is a huge WTF moment that will leave you reeling and going back to see if you could have figured it out earlier on!

Wow. Can't believe I didn't totally get lost. I kept up, and what a ride! I know Cameron will get it someday. I'm still trying to think of ways it'll get fixed. Hhhmm...I also got to thinking about what if there are others who can do and go through what Cameron does. But then I stopped because it was making me crazy! Thanks again, Daryl, for the great read! I HAVE to get to bed now.

Fantastic, intense story - 5 stars !
I loved it. Very, very well written and an amazing story line.
"What's a memory," I say, "if not an intense traveling to the past ? And what's a dream, if not some intense possibility of the future ? Celeste turns a page in the magazine, skimming the toy section. "I don't know if I believe in time travel," I tell her with half a chuckle, "but when I smell a freshy-mowed lawn, a green onion patch, the thick scent of approaching rain, I'm seven years old again and running around the lawn on a careless summer day. The memory's so intense, I can actually feel myself running through sprinklers" I turn to look at her, my face all twisted up with nostalgia. "How is that not time traveling ?"
Plot, turns, twists, this book has everything you could want. It's impossible to put it down.
"You can wake up every day and tell yourself it was a dream, but you can't unsee what I've seen. I've turned time with a watch. I've turned time with a 14 carat gold ring, I can't imagine what else I can do, whith what else."
"Then comes a point when you have to be honest and say, this is a losing battle. You have to prepare yourself because all your life, pursue, persist, ever since you're a kid in gym class, told not to give up, keep fighting, be brave, fearless, every cartoon you've ever seen teaching you the same stupid lesson. They don't tell you that sometimes, failure is the one and only outcome."
"I meant... I meant I'm afraid of waking up one day and - being - one of them. I'm afraid that I'm living my life backwards. I'm being safe and cautious right now while I'm young, I'm afraid I'll want to do things someday. Date a hundred girls, party, climb a mountain, do something dangerous and reckless... and I won't be able to because I'll be eighty and chained to a bed with a pee bag at my feet."
This book is a great read from the beginning to the end. And the end ? Oh the end... just not what I expected at all !

I absolutely loved this book!
Daryl Banner is a genius! This is my second book by him and I’m blown away once again. His voice in unique and a work of art and I’ve never read anyone like this. I can’t get enough. And then there’s the stories!
Super Psycho Future Killers is exciting and full of twists you won’t see coming. Trust me, I’m really good at that and didn’t figure out even one.
That ending!!!!!
Just read it! You will not be disappointed!
