The Chat Room

by Troy Edward Veenstra

PUB:  Evermalace Productions

ISBN:  978-1-434-85411-7

 

The Chat Room is full of very scared young people.  At first they are sarcastic, then unbelieving, but when they begin to see the murders of their friends on the video--they are scared.

 

This book has explicit descriptions, but it is also has a mystery.  Why are these young adults being killed?  How are they selected?  Who is behind the mayhem?  Why now?  How is the killer getting into their computers? 

 

The local police have the assistance of a sarcastic Canadian detective, Paul Wolfe, an entertaining and frustrating character. 

 

You just know that there's more to this crime than what meets the reader's eye, but you have to wait till the end to see what it is. 

 

This book is a smooth read.

Though my book has only been out for a few months I have already been asked by several people why I made the book so offensive?  To be honest to that regard, i have to answer this the same way and really the under the same reason that i started learning about the law in college.  My goal in life when it comes to the law is to show the people of this world how flawed our legal system is, how messed up things are in this world to show them that we need great change.  Sadly, it seems in this day and age that the only way you can reach people on a massive scale is to do something that they find so offensive that they want to get involved to change the way things are done.  In the law, it is my goal and plan to take the law by the horns so to speak and exploit in for all I can get out of it.  If this means that for some reason I am able to get a murderer back on the streets, though it will pain me to do so, then this is what i must do.  I feel in some way that it is my calling.  That it is up to me to do these things so that when i leave this world that it may perhaps be a better place.  SO to is the reason I have written this book, though it is horror in nature, it is EXTREME horror.  It has not lines to cross, no rules to break for there are no line or rules in its path, thus this book is meant to offend its reader.  For only by offending others, making them feel the "politically incorrect," feelings that society has spoon fed them to believe may people begin to see the truth behind truth.  Thus this is why i did not hold back when writing this book.  If you feel offended by it, that is good, that is what i wanted, that is what the book was meant to do.  Now take that feeling and do something good with it.  That may sound like a really messed up way of doing things, and in reality it is, but for the moment it was something I had to do.  Feel free to comment.

What is Horror?

This is a question that I use to ask myself a lot, however, that was then and the answer is now.  What is horror?  Horror; rather, true horror is something that makes you feel the cool chill of death reverberate through your body.  True Horror is something that offends you in such a way that you find it utterly scary, repulsive, terrifying, and demented.

When ever we read a horror novel or see what has been said to be a horror movie the subject in question should create not a sense of thrill or a since of a quick scare, but it should make us feel a terror that continues on well past the time the we either stopped reading it or watching it.  It should linger on with us, almost becoming a part of out own being, our own thoughts and mind.  It should move us, perplex us, and at the very least cause such a feeling in us that we want or desire to know more about this fealing or this fear within us. 

Horror is meant to offend.  If you watch or read something that is stated as a horror and it does not cause the feeling of being offensive to you then it is not a true horror, but a copycat like thriller playing it self out for the quick scare.  If it does not offend you is it really worth watching or reading??

"The Chat Room," is a horror novel with several different concepts in one.

NEWS RELEASE

May 13, 2008—Grand Rapids, Michigan.   "the Chat Room, by Troy Edward Veenstra," is an interesting twist in the conception of modern horror novels, in fact if this book had to classified as another genre it could easily take on the form of a: Cyber thriller, Sociological horror, Social Issues and most definitely the first Christian horror novel of its kind.

Though the book is written as a horror novel and has an amass amount of suspense, bloodshed, and other adult content, if one truly reads the book you can find two other story's under the guise of the original horror. 

First we have a horror novel.  Its basic construct, being that for some reason a person is killing off a bunch of sex crazed and selfish college students who seem to care nothing about other people and seem to think that sex is the only goal in everyone's life.

Then we have the sociological story.  In sociology, the first thing that you learn is that you must look at the world with eyes not accustomed to that culture, thus you have to look at things as if they are for the first time.  "The Chat Room," does just this by introducing a detective that has been brought in from another country.  This detective has morals and ethics that surprise most of the other officers in the story. Sadly this book shows just how far this country may have fallen from the ethical and moral tree.

Lastly, we have a religious story that slowly evolves through the text, until finally setting roots in the last few chapters.  This part of the story is entailed through the telling of the other story concepts and can, in some ways really leave the reader to question what may be wrong with the way they currently live their own life. 

With all this said, however, "The Chat Room," ends in typical horror style, reminding the reader that no matter what story genre you thought the book may have been it is truly a horror novel all its own.

NEWS RELEASE!!

The cyber, horror, thriller, "The Chat Room by Troy Edward Veenstra" is now available on Amazon.com

May 8 2008, – Thanks to Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Contest, Troy Veenstra's, "The Chat Room" is finally in print and ready for purchase. As a semi-finalist of the contest, the book was able to find a publisher, thus making the book available for purchase. As few people may know, "The Chat Room," started out as a fan fiction short story on such sites as fanfiction.net and fanfiction.com as well as several other fan fiction like sites in the summer of 2003, however as members of these sites began reading the story and left several reviews the story slowly began to take on a life of its own.

Originally the story was about a group of teenagers that were being killed off one by one while visiting a local online chat room, however as time went on the story evolved around certain key members of the room's core members and the misdeeds they had done out in the real world.

Thus, "The Chat Room," takes one of the more key stories that came from the short stories and refines it to a more detailed story, however by doing so the book also has more descriptive areas of bloodshed, mayhem and acts of outright violence than the short story ever had to offer, as the website would only allow so much blood and guts before banning the stories altogether.

As previous fans of the short stories may recall the stories contained the maximum amount of bloodshed that the website would allow, thus the book contains Graphic Adult Sexual Content, Strong violence, and violent situations as well as strong adult language and conduct. It has massive descriptions of decapitations, deformations, suicidal issues, drug usage and mass murder.

It is strongly recommended that no one under the age of 16 be permitted to read this book with out parental approval. That said, the book can still be found at the publishers website at www.createspace.com/3340763 As well as previously stated in this news release it can now be found on Amazon.com by going to the website and entering the authors name into the search bar, and clicking onto the picture as shown above.

Feeling the coolness of the strangers hand over her body,

she tried to scream again, yet she could not even hear the sound of her

own voice.

Slowly he moved the knife even deeper into her breast, jaggedly

cutting it from her, the pain so unbearable, she continued to thrash

against her restraints, screaming as best she could. Closing her eyes,

Tamara could feel the stranger slicing her right breast from her as her

tears streamed down the sides of her face. Opening her eyes once more,

she could do nothing more than keep watching, as they paraded her

breast in front of her like a Broadway production, allowing the blood to

drip down onto her face, before they placed it into the trash next to the

table.

Walking around the other side of the table, Tamara stared into

their eyes as the stranger once again moved over her. Moving the tip of

the knife to the bottom of her chest, they looked into her eyes. "Please!"

she whispered, forcing herself to speak, "Don't cut . . . Don't cut . . . my

. . . my . . . breast!" she begged them to stop. "Please don't."

Looking to her as they moved the tip of the blade over the top of

her breast, allowing the edge of the knife to scratch lightly against her

nipple, moving the blade slowly up her body, the stranger continued to

stare deeply into her eyes. Watching her reactions as the blade moved

gently up and over her neck, stopping just at the base of her chin.

Suddenly the stranger placed their hand firmly over her forehead

as they quickly raised the knife over her head, forcing her to stare up at

the tip of the blade. Slowly they moved the knife closer and closer to her

left eye, until she could feel the very tip of the blade, grazing her iris.

Holding the tip of the blade against her eye, the stranger continued to

watch her as she forced herself to keep her eyes open.

Feeling her eye become more and more dry, her eyelids began to

tighten, slowly lower farther down her eyeball. Unable to blink, she

began to scream, feeling the tip of the blade move against her eyelid . . .

Instantly she heard the dark image get up from the office chair,

her eyes readjusting to the darkness around her once more. Looking

around the room, she listened closely. Her ears twitching to every sound

around her, until her eyes finally adjusted to the darkness once again. It

was only then that she could make out the shadowed image of the person

standing over her, with both of their arms extended above her.

Looking up at them, her eyes quickly fixed on the large blade of

a butcher knife, nestled firmly in the palm of their hands, slowly they

moved closer toward her, her entire body trembled fiercely. The blade of

the knife moving slowly down toward the middle of her stomach, within

seconds she could feel the cool tip of the blade lightly brushing against

the insides of her belly button.

Sucking in her stomach, she tried to keep her body away from

the tip of the blade as the stranger kept moving the blade slowly closer,

and closer to her. Unable to expel any more air out her lungs she knew

what was to come as she tilted her head to her side, the sudden flooding

of tears rolled from her eyes as she felt the tip of the blade once again

touching the inner sides of her belly button.

Wrenching in pain she screamed as loud as she could, feeling the

cool tip of the blade slowly piercing through her gut, the pain so

unbearable that she jerked her head from side-to-side. Taking a deep

breath of air she winched again to the pain, feeling the blade moving

even further into her, until half of the blade was buried inside her gut.

Looking up to shadowed image of the person that stood above

her, she slammed the back of her head against the table top, wanting to

see the face of her soon to be murderer, yet still their face remained

shrouded by the darkness of the room.

Suddenly she felt the blade stop moving down into her, as she

forces her head back up, looking down at her stomach. She could see the

knife still deep inside her belly, the blade facing up toward her, as she

tried to breathe as little as possible.

Suddenly, without warning, the stranger moved into her again as

her legs lashed upward, her arms jerking away from the table only to

once again be held down by the wire wrapped around her limbs. 

The blade of the knife began to move up her body, ripping

through her delicately soft and tight flesh, like a hot knife through butter.

She could feel the blade slowly moving inside her, the pain so

unbearable, that she began wishing that her body would go into shock

and allow her to die.

Grasping for air once more, she felt the blade slowly cutting into

the side of her breastbone; the shadowed image of the stranger moved

their hand over her shoulder, forcing her shoulder downward, as the

stranger thrashed the blade harder through the lower half of her chest, her

lungs tearing like ribbons. She could feel the blade as it jaggedly cut

through her, stopping just after it cut through her breastbone, her blood

gushing from her broken body as it quickly ran down her sides and over

the top of the table.

Feeling the tape from her mouth being removed she looked into

the eyes of her murder, seeing for the first time who it was. Slowly she

tried to breathe, unable to get a solid breath of air. Blood spewed up

through her mouth; her body riddled with intense pain. She could feel

her life slowly slipping from her. Widening her eyes, she stared deeply

into the eyes of her killer, seeing the vain evil smile emerging from their

face.

Violently she jerked her entire body upward, feeling the knife

being quickly pulled from deep inside her chest, hearing the "twang" as

it rattled against the floor below. Suddenly she saw the television turn on

again, as its light slowly lit up the room. The image on the screen

showed Timmy once again, but this time she could see the bottom

section of the laptop, as it showed Timmy moving the pointer over a

picture of her. Feeling her body weakening, she now fought to keep her

eyes open . . .
