The California Butcher

Sacramento is an ominous town with an apocalyptic vibe in the gruesome, psychological horror, Stephen Rhoades’ THE CALIFORNIA BUTCHER, which explores torture and cannibalism through a disturbing collection of vulnerable, dysfunctional individuals searching for grisly salvation in their troubled lives. Fueled by an extreme fetish site and manipulated by an unearthly serial killer known as “The Butcher”, Rhoades’ characters descend into a violent, fiendish hellscape of their own creation. Raw, dark, and compelling, THE CALIFORNIA BUTCHER is a terrifyingly twisty read offering much more than just a gore-soaked horror-fest.
