Here's a sample of his writing:

All the orphaned jezebels, loitering on witching hour sidewalks. Those girls who can catch the eye of a passing motorist, and blow an exaggerated kiss his way without disturbing the hard scowls that they wear at all times, even in their sleep. I watched them from the shadows of a doorway. I was waiting for a bus to take me home Smoking a cigarette, sweating out the two lines of crushed adderall that I had snorted at work. I scratched at my skin the way the mongrel dogs dig in the trash. The graveyard shift had me graveyard bound. I was a mess, threadbared. I existed in a perpetual state of sluggish disconnection. The whores sauntered with a confidence that I coveted. It was easy to forget, given their stone cold and calculating demeanor that the majority of these street sharpened sexpots were simple teenage girls with all the accompanying sugar and spice who had been snatched off the street as they walked to the grocery store thrown into the trunk of a car driven to another city and confined where they are drugged, beaten, and gangraped until they are ready to be turned out into the streets to sell their ravaged pussies to unfulfilled family men from the suburbs who look just like their fathers. And though I was entirely aware of the grim details of their lives in hell on earth and I was sympathetic to their plight to the point of physical discomfort my eyes still roamed hungrily along the lengths of each girl's salacious anatomy. I want to strangle each girl until all of their ruined hearts cease to beat to spare them the violent inhumanity of the world which is all they had ever, would ever know. Kill every whore because every whore is somebodies daughter. Sympathy for the devil. Kill me for watching them. Kill me for wanting them. Kill me for this. All Teeth, Spiderghost
