Hatred - James Murray (circa 2015 piece of awful literature)

Hello!

I still have a copy of Jame's book. He actually used to watch me on deviantart and post under my works

I go under the username, AxlReigns on DA and write stories featuring Anthropomorphic animals. James was drawn to my works, not long after I first became active on the site and he even considered me a "friend," before all the drama with his book.

Because he was one of the few people who followed me and took an interest in my work, in the early days of me writing on the site, I was willing to write him off as being a 'decent person' who just had some very unusual fantasies. He loved my stories and was constantly bugging me to do a collab/crossover project with him which I knew from the get go would never work. My stories are aimed at children as well as young adults. They do not contain the mature content which permeated his stories and art. Still, I got away from having to confront him on this by just telling him "I was too busy."

Prior to the release of his book, he had sent me a copy of one of his writings. This was where it became obvious to me of his severe grammatical/writing issues. When he informed me that one of his was being published, I assumed he must have found someone to edit his works. Since he considered me a friend in those days, I went ahead and ordered his book to write a review for him as he requested. Needless to say, I was stunned to find the same sloppy writing in the final product that he posted online. I knew then I couldn't write the positive review he was wanting so instead of just posting a review, I thought it would be more proper for me to just send him my critique and concerns through private messaging. Before I had a chance, he already had begun receiving heated feedback.

When he messaged me about everything going on, I was at first sympathetic towards the guy. By this time, I had begun to suspect he had some sort of disability. It was then I told Jame's I was sorry for the harsh reaction, he was receiving, but found a lot of the criticisms to be warranted. Jame's went off on a tantrum after that, cursing at me and accused me of "betraying the friendship," despite my intentions being to help him. After his onslaught of nasty insults, I banned James, and posted my long review on Amazon anyways.

If you were still interested in the book, I supposed I could scan the pages for you sometime. Just let me know.

Regards,
