Interview with The Devil: Part One: Victor's Account
Warning:
The novel that you are about to read contains various depictions of graphic violence and disturbed, unsettling situations that some may find offensive and disgusting. If I am to be completely honest, this book should not be read by everyone. Every character in this book is exactly that, a character. No one portrayed in this novel is based on any living person. It is simply fictional. That being said, nothing in this book is supposed to make sense. It is purposely surreal, which, in other words, means unrealistic. The majority of these accounts could obviously not happen in real life. That is the point of a book. To be over exaggerated, and you know, improbable. I did my part, and I warned you. To say the least, I am sorry for your nightmares. - Skylerr Darren.
Everyone, no matter who they are, has experienced a gloomy nightmare at least one point in their life. A dream so lucid and vivid that you aren't sure if the frightening tribulation truly happened or not. Victor Florence has been the victim of these startling, unearthly afflictions since his early adolescence, and it has molded him into the spineless introvert that he is today; a panic-stricken schizophrenic. Longing to desert his shattered past with little to no hope at all, Victor attempts a career at psychology to understand himself and the world around him, but that proves to be anything but simple. Before you can truly comprehend Victor, you first have to read his account.
"There sat a frail, abnormally-pallid African-American man. His weight looked rather questionable. He looked as if he hadn't eaten in months, judging by the fact that his integral skeleton had been visible through his diminished skin. He stared at me with no facial expression. He just sat there, staring."
Satan, the brooding, scriptural ghoul that takes on the responsibility for murder, perversion, and the gruesome deaths of children. Society views these horrors as a grim nightmare-a nightmare in which one would desperately attempt to wake up from. But in reality, you simply just can't wake up from a nightmare, for both reality and fiction have become one. Victor, a timid young college student dreadfully awakens into such a demonic ordeal from the repulsive dismiss of his relatives, to macabre dreams and morbid occurrences. Do not look at Interview with The Devil: Part 1 as a mere book but instead the detour into your own self-morality.

I tried so hard to read & like this book. I quit reading numerous times. Gave it a day or two and tried again, only to finally quit at 39%. I am an avid reader, have been since I was old enough to read. I’ve read all genres. Romance, comedy, contemporary, thrillers, psychological thrillers, true crime, every damn thing,
I just couldn’t do it with this one. Horrifically disgusting descriptive scenes of suicide etc,. Over use of “big” words that I’ve never read before. Not sure if the big words were to make the audience feel stupid for having to look them up, or if they were to make up for the unrealistic death scenes.
Sorry Mr. Darren but I just couldn’t read this gibberish nor could I recommend it to others.

I don't mind gore, but if your story involves more gore than story, that's not a story, that's snuff.
This is snuff. Every time I thought the story was going to come back in, it just kept going. It got to a point where I was just skipping entire sections. I was more bored than disgusted.
edit: when it comes to dark stories, I don't ever believe the authors themselves are dark. From what I hear, Stephen King is super chill guy, and my favourite manga artist, Junji Ito, is a hard working awesome individual. After finding out the author of Interview with the Devil is a racist, abusive, incel, suddenly the over the top rape scenes make sense.

Can't properly give a rating to this book. It seemed well written and interesting - but for myself, there were a few too many mental triggers for me, and I was unable to make it through the book. Apologies to the author who sent me a copy to review, I wish my brain would have let me!

Title - Interview with Devil - Part I - Victor's Account
Author: Skyyler Darren
Length: 119 pages
Publisher: Self publication
Genre: Horror, Mystery, Fiction
My rating: 3/5
Summary:
The book is about an aspiring Psychologist who having had a very troubled childhood goes on to interview a patient in a mental asylum. The story then goes in flashbook to detail his childhood incidents.
My Take:
This is the first ever horror book I ever picked. I had no idea what to expect but I definitely felt disgusted by the explicit details of the horrific moments from the narrators childhood which is what a horror book is supposed to do.
The cover of the book suggested that this book would be about an interview with maybe a murderer or a Devil which is not the case. The title or the cover doesn't justify the contents. I would say cover is just a deception.
When I started with the first chapter, it was quite eerie. It was mentioned that narrators has gone to a mental asylum but you feel as if the narrator is looking at some paranormal instance. It's quite confusing. Just when you feel the interview is about to begin, the story then moves to Victors childhood.
The book is loaded with horrible, gruesome, brutal and yucks moments which can make any reader cringe. The murder of narrators maternal grandfather by his maternal grandmother, his maternal grandma committing suicide, the murder of his mother (while narrator was 15 years old and his mother was pregnant), his fathers suicide are just the beginning.
The story of the inspiration behind narrator getting his name is also jaw dropping and loaded with horror. Equally stunning the revelation that paternal grandfather of the narrator is actually a devil.
The details mentioned in the book about each and every crime does give you the feeling of watching it Live in front of you. I would have found this book intriguing had there been a story. Unfortunately there is no specific plot, just gruesome crimes which can give anybody a feeling of being exhausted. There is not a single crime that's not covered in this book.
I was totally exhausted by the end of the book. Many a times I felt like giving up the reading but since it was a copy for reading and reviewing shared by author himself, I had to read till the end. I would probably never pick up any horror book since this didn't arouse any interest in me. Rather I would now be taking a break from reading for few days to divert my mind.
Have given 3/5 only for 2 reasons:
1. I did find the acts quite horrific which is exactly what the books purpose was
2. The minute detailing covered by the reader for each of the acts.
I only would say if you have an apetite for violence at its peak, pick this book.

Skyleer Darren’s latest novel Interview with the Devil is a horror story filled with ghastly things. It’s a story about a serial killer and how he became that way and a meeting with a psychology student covering an assignment, or that is what the reader is led to believe. What unveils is a story of the narrator. Spoiler Alert!
The book opens with a ghastly vivid image of vision of a man eviler that Satan. It immediately has you question how such an evil creature got that way. As the story progresses, Darren slowly addresses the many issues of the narrator’s childhood which is embedded several generations deep. Each account seems more horrific than the other. A small glimpse of this quote from the book describes the ice cold steel serial killer.
“What was this thing, and what was it about? My soul filled itself with determination and confidence to find that one true answer, and I could tell so when my body made able to find a seat in one of the chairs and gave my tongue the ability to say hello.”
From the hideous deaths of the narrator’s parents and grandparents to the psychological impact they had, this novel is a psychological suspense which weaves in and out of graphic scenes which portrays the narrator’s life and doesn’t let up. It also defines why the narrator has a fascination with serial killers. Look at this quote from the book.
“Unnaturally, over the years, I evolved into harboring an outlandish fascination for the mentally afflicted, and for some reason, their uncommon methods of thinking had driven me closer to pursuing a career as a competent psychologist. It had to be something about these unsettling, depraved, and maleficent people that attracted me to them, perhaps the fact that a single person could inhabit the attributes to be so inhuman that they could find expunging the life from an impeccable person as permissible.”
From start to finish, if you like horror books, this one is for you as it is filled with it.

Couldn’t even make it through the first few pages. I’m sure it’ll win many awards.... to the worst book ever written. Truly a bad piece of work.

What an awful read. I can't imagine anyone thinking it's a good idea to romanticize and endorse pedophilia and rape. I understand these are topics that can and sometimes should make it into fiction, but the way in which it's written here makes a mockery of victims of such things, and also seems to revel in them.
Terrible book, and looking at these other reviews, written by a terrible person.

Interview with the devil is a psychological horror about Victor, a serial killer and the reasons why he became such a person. The story vibrantly explains his harsh upbringing and all of the abuse he went through in detail. It is obvious that there are severe mental issues associating with the protagonist and the story does not sway shy from descriptively inviting the reader into the serial killer’s mind.
I found the literature to be superbly written. It is the exact material readers love who are into horror and mystery. As the protagonist was an aspiring psychologist, I thought of the irony of such a wish as well as the interview he was conducting as a patient in a mental asylum.
The mysterious story had an interesting twist to it which I thought was well put together. I must express that the book is not suitable for the light-hearted. There are truly disturbing scenes written with a genuine and real sense of actuality. I admired the author’s ability in writing in such a way and thought that the work was definitely narrated with care.
Sensitive subject matters such as rape, child abuse, suicide were just a few mentioned in this book. Therefore, I would recommend this book to anyone that feels they are up to reading such a storyline.

Do you like to read horror stories and to be terrified?
If so, then read the book entitled, "Interview with the Devil Part 1: Victor's Account" by Skylerr Darren.
Victor David Florence or Vick is studying to be a Psychologist. He is interested in finding out how people can become so inhuman to think it is okay to take another person's life. Why do people commit "sickening acts"? Over the years, Victor has developed a fascination of studying the "mentally afflicted and uncommon methods of thinking".
Victor experiences horror in his own family when growing up. By the age of 16, Victor was dealing with the loss of his mother, Lauren Florence; grandmother, Susan Grace; and grandfather, Paul Florence II. Victor experiences the painful affects of these tragic losses and acts of violence which include depression and pain. He expresses the fact that he "never fully recovered" from the loss of his mother. He finds himself struggling with the "inability to let things go and move on."
Victor sold his grandparents' home to a man named Grant. After Grant and his roommate were killed by intruders, Victor decides to leave town or "disenthrall myself from this aberrant town and it's villainous residents." He moves to El Paso, TX and enrolls in Psychology courses at the local Community College.
Victor's grandmother had wanted to be a Psychologist, too. She studied at the local Community College. She had spoken with Victor about his future plans, but Victor was not interested at the time. Victor thinks his professor, Charles Fiktion is "amoral and salacious". Victor has an assignment to do for his Psychology class. For the assignment, Victor wants to do a one-on-one interview with a patient at the Chy-Merikal Creek Psychiatric Hospital to find out why they are there.
Victor is interviewing "a thing" who has committed such horror and terror that he will be a prisoner for life locked away by himself, in seclusion, with no visitors allowed. Victor was attracted by the "nightmarish atmosphere". Victor is sitting across from the prisoner "nervously sweating and trembling".
The prisoner asks Victor why he has come.
This book contains horrid descriptions of terrifying acts of violence that are inhumane.
Recommended for adults only.

The premise of this book is very interesting. A psychology student goes to interview a convicted serial killer that has been locked up in a mental institution for many years, and has had no visitors, and has virtually been kept in solitary confinement. However, the writer's convoluted writing style and extremely graphic descriptions of gore and very graphic violence over and over again with very little plot movement or story line between the horrific descriptions made it a very challenging read. There are extremely graphic descriptions of violent rape, gang rape, murder, dismemberment, and torture, among other things that will likely be difficult to read for many readers. I have read books with vivid descriptions of this kind of violence before; however this book was so extreme, page after page of horrific description, over and over....there were different crimes, different family members, different neighbors, but it felt very repetitive and gratuitous to me. I was expecting it to be creepy or scary--but honestly, it was just gross. I kept reading, hoping to find something I could find redeeming about this book, but unfortunately, I cannot recommend it, unless you have a very strong stomach and don't really need strong story and character development to go with your violence. Perhaps future volumes in the series will include a stronger story, but I will not be continuing on.

4.5 stars
This is not a novel for the faint-hearted. You’ve been forewarned!
Imagine the town you live in is somehow cursed, your family too is cursed. Your loved ones turn out to be the exact opposite of who you think they are. You are living your worst nightmare. And it has just started.
This is the story of Victor Florence as told in the part 1 of the Interview With The Devil series. This part-one story of the series starts with Victor Florence, a psychology student assigned by his professor to interview ‘The Devil’ and goes backwards to recount Victor Florence’s horrifying teenage life (filled with tragedies pertaining his family and people around him) and how he became motivated to be a psychology student.
And the end result? Interview With The Devil Part 1 is a horrifying graphic story that will keep you up at nights with its vividly macabre details. A lot of the violent and gruesome scenes will come back to haunt you long after you read it. Above all, this novel dares you to imagine...what if it happens to you and your loved ones? Because it’s not just some sick fantasy. It could happen to anyone in real life.
Remember this is just the part 1 of the series. This book will leave you wanting more to the extent that you’re frustrated and wished that the author could release the whole story in the form a complete novel or at least the Book One of a trilogy. All in all, I can’t wait to read the rest of the story!
For the fans of Stephen King, you will love this must-read horror novel written by a young rising talent in the horror genre!

Interview With The Devil takes its cue from the likes of Bram Stoker and Mary Shelley, as well as William Peter Blatty (author and screenwriter of The Exorcist) and Anne Rice. Though the book invites comparison to such authors with some stylistic flourishes and its subject matter, it cuts to the meat of the plot in far fewer pages.
Likely to appeal to fans of Gothic, though perhaps not for the squeamish, its characters suffer great physical and psychological violence from the outset.
Narrated in the first person by Victor, a naive psychology student with a dark family legacy of madness which particularly afflicts the female line while the men must endure the attendant horror and loss, Interview With The Devil follows his encounters with an unnerving predator and the terrible events that follow.
Naturally, Victor’s past informs his present and his highly personal interest in grotesque extremes of the ‘mentally afflicted’.
Enlivened with lurid, visceral imagery, gore and sexual violence feature heavily, with Victor’s thoughts and inner life rendered in florid, atmospheric prose. Interview With The Devil also boldly evokes a more ephemeral sense of creeping unease.
As such, Interview With The Devil might make entertaining seasonal reading in the run-up to Halloween, or a year-round favourite for body-horror fans.

This is the first time reading anything by this author. He has a knack of sparking vivid mental images through his use of language, this is definitely a book for a person who enjoys horror. As the title suggests it’s part of a series and so there is more to come for those who can stand a round 2! The main character is Victor, who is a psychology student and has experienced some past trauma in his life. Very nice character development and a well written book.

This book started out as an interview and then became more of a backstory for the narrator. It was very graphic and seemed to just have repeated occurrences of horrible acts of violence and sexual abuse. I am a bit of a horror fan but this wasn't exactly as frightening as it was just gory. It was well written and every disturbing detail was definitely described so that you could envision what was taking place. Have a strong stomach for this one.

Geez. With just the right amount of insanity - getting to the end of each chapter is an act of will, courage, stomaching, and curiosity. Just when I thought I hit tipping point and couldn't handle another word of it. The chapter would wrap itself up to silence. A space to breath before more blood hit the walls. It's been a while since I read a horror - I'm proud I made it. This is not easy. And yet, it's written with such vivid conviction I'm not sure what is scarier. If you are looking for darkness - you found it. And to think this is only part 1 guys ...

I liked the darkness of this book. The main premise is about a young kid named Victor recounting his shattered childhood and attempting to make sense out of the horrible things that happened to him. His grandmother's murder conviction, his mom's murder, his dad's suicide, this book is packed with Death on in! This is something that true Horror lovers will enjoy to the core. It's Dark, Disgusting, and Morbid with every bit of the word. Sure, a lot of the content is far fetched and unbelievable, but really, is it supposed to be?

Warning: If you aren't into horror or gory scenes, you probably won't like this book.
One thing I noticed in this book is that there were hardly any 'good' aspects of human nature in this novel - even though the topic being explored was the deplorable things humans do - I feel as if this novella would have been a little bit more balanced if there had been some 'good' aspects of human nature, as well as making the book on a whole a little bit more believable.
For me, there was too much unnecessary 'gory' scenes and descriptions at times. I got a copy in exchange for an honest review.

This book is not for the faint of heart. Grisly scenes that may bot be for everyone. Keeps your interest and makes you realize that there is evil all around us. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the ARC of this book. Although I received the book in this manner, it did not affect my opinion of this book nor my review.

Interview With The Devil is a graphic, horrifying book. It drags you into the pages and refuses to let you tear your eyes away. Not for the faint of heart. Highly recommended.

This book required a strong stomach. I'm certain the author was trying to express the horror of pedophilia. However in my opinion, he went way too far with it. The descriptions were graphic and disgusting. It took everything I had to finish the book.

A full force gore fest of a novel with some pretty sick and twisted plot lines that will undoubtedly shock some and fascinate others if that's the right word to use?
Not for the faint hearted so be warned!
