The Guest Room
by Chris Bohjalian
Richard Chapman hosted a bachelor party for his younger brother Phillip. The party took place in Richard’s suburban home. Phillip’s best friend Spencer arranged the entertainment – adult entertainment.
The liquor flowed, good judgment waned, and the strippers did more than just lap dancing and strip tease.
The festivities turned into a nightmare when two young Russian sex slaves turned the festivities into a horror show. In a matter of minutes, two Russian thugs were dead, lots of blood was everythwere, and naked people were screaming and running amok.
This story really isn’t about the guest room, but maybe the daughter’s room, or the living room, or perhaps a house in Bronxville. New title needed, I think. Both main characters attack our sensibilities, but Alexandra’s story is compelling. The book ended too soon! I wanted more.
Richard tells his story and Alexandra tells hers, and oh, what a story they tell!
