Wants, Tightrope, Spilt Milk

Wants, Tightrope, Spilt Milk is the controversial story of Casper Carter, a young well-liked Australian teacher whose thirst for fame leads him to plot the mass murder of his own students.

Giving himself just five days in which to learn to torture, rape and murder, Casper seeks to transform himself into Kasper Karter, a being with no morals, no boundaries and no limits.

Through his actions we see his transformation, a transformation marred by struggle and anxiety as his conscience seeks to undo all he has planned.

Will he overcome all society has taught him to believe and respect, or will he become lost in the blood of the victims that haunt his every moment?

Wants, Tightrope Spilt Milk follows in the footsteps of American Psycho, In Cold Blood and Crime and Punishment by presenting the reader with a human killer, a man tormented by what he believes he should do, yet plagued by what society expects of him. With his humanity shown through his relationship to a bullied young student he takes under his wing, the reader is exposed to what drives a killer and how each murder affects him, till in the end the rampage he has planned in his own school looms, an event that finally forces Casper to question just who he is.
