Silent Executioner ; Being the Second in the Series of Fantomas Adventures

Tilde C

Absurd, creepy, paced like a car race, as shlocky as you expect from a Fantômas novel. Juve in particular gets more room to breathe than in the first book, it was satisfying to see him have some kind of personality. I also feel like this story has more forward motion than the first book. My main criticism is that the book could have been even more grotesque and horrible - THAT's what I read Fantômas for. A room with a torrent of sand (which is never explained further) does not sate my thirst for gruesome pulp horror.
