    About this audiobook

    What is heaven? What is hell?





    Ellie lives with the fear that she is an abomination. An affront to God. If her Bible Belt community were to ever discover Ellie’s desires for the intimate touch of a woman, then her husband, pastor, friends, and neighbors would all despise and shun her. But by way of the World Wide Web, Ellie finds a kindred spirit in Lori Morris, a beautiful young woman with a hideous secret. Brought together by their lust, their shame, and a shared sense of hopelessness, Ellie and Lori agree to end their lives in a single night of sex, torture, depravity, and finally suicide in a luxurious hotel. But Lori has another agenda: to escape an oppressive force that could be God, or possibly the devil. In truth, he’s something far, far worse.





    Just remember: He wants us broken.

      Well, it certainly lives up to its title. It's a novella filled with blasphemy, gore, and sadistic sex ... what else is there to say? 3 stars for being exactly what it says on the tin.

      This review refers to the 2017 print edition from 01Publishing

      This was one of the most profoundly dark and disturbing stories I have read in some time, redefining love, lust, faith, judgement, punishment, heaven, hell, pleasure, and pain. I feel like anything else I would say at this point would move my review into spoiler territory, so I will sum things up with this blurb from the back cover; "Remember: He wants us broken"

      Review copyThe Sadist's Bible is a new novella from Nicole Cushing. Nicole is rapidly becoming one of my go-to authors for a solid story. In the last year, I've enjoyed both her novel, Mr. Suicide, and her collection, The Mirrors.I love a great opening line and they don't get much better than "Do u really think u ready to die? I don't want u chickening out." This is part of a conversation which takes place on The Buddy System, an online place to find a suicide partner.This is the place where Ellie meets Lori and where they plan their "escape."Nicole Cushing writes about real people, not necessarily people like me, but real people none-the-less.The Sadist's Bible is extremely sexual. Ellie has spent nineteen years in a stupid marriage and would like to have a same-sex fling before ending it all. Lori is willing, but she's also just plain crazy.At times the story made me uncomfortable, and this is a good thing, writing should have some kind of impact on the reader.At some point on the way to their liaison , Ellie turns off the highway and ends up deep in the Twilight Zone and the climax (yes, I used that word intentionally) is rather surreal.Admittedly, The Sadist's Bible is not for everyone. Adult themes abound, but still an enjoyable read.The Sadist's Bible is available as an e-book from 01Publishing.Nicole Cushing is a Shirley Jackson Award finalist who's written a number of stand-alone novellas and dozens of short stories. Nicole has been referred to as the literary equivalent of the love child between Jack Ketchum and Poppy Z. Bright. Raised in rural Maryland and now living in southern Indiana, Nicole counts master storyteller Edgar Allen Poe as having had a big influence on her as a writer.
