Wow, this is bad writing

[Blooby]

I wanted to read something mindless to start my summer so I started a Dean Koontz novel (dumped into into my iPad a couple years back). I would now like to share a passage with you...

Like a wave of dark water filled with churning ice, the cold rage of an ancient consciousness surged into him again. The desire to stroke her hair, to gently touch her smooth skin, to take her in her arms-that vanished instantly and was replaced by something stronger than desire, by a profound need to kill her. He wanted to gut her, bury his mouth in her still-warm flesh, and finally proclaim his triumph by urinating on her lifeless remains.

I was reading in a restaurant and started laughing inanely.

WTF

Could be worse, he might have needed a No 2.

Could be worse, he might have needed a No 2.

You certainly have a knack for providing perspective.

To the author:

Are you illiterate? Write for further details.

Yeah... that's the worst I've seen since this little nugget:

"Beads of sweat began to appear on Guy's forehead as he became more entangled in the lissom limbs of this human boa constrictor. For fully fifteen minutes their mutual passion heightened, with groans, sighs and liquid noises."

And who is responsible for this? None other than TV's favourite earthworm botherer, Alan Titchmarsh!
