In many ways, a novella is the perfect length for a tale of horror. Enough room for story and character development, yet short enough to get straight to the bloody point! This book from Bram Stoker Award-nominee Jeff Strand contains five of his macabre tales, collected together for the first time. You'll find nerve-wracking suspense, insane humor, a cute dog, and plenty of weirdness, especially in the last one.
STALKING YOU NOW - The reprehensible man in the restaurant doesn't know that somebody at another table is watching him. Somebody filled with hatred. Somebody waiting for him to be alone. Somebody with duct tape and a gun. It's a night for vengeance. And a hell of a lot more.
AN APOCALYPSE OF OUR OWN - Missy and Kevin are friends. Just friends. But now people are leaking blood from their eyeballs and turning into homicidal oozing mutants. Fortunately, Kevin has access to an underground shelter, but now they're trapped down there. Can the Friend Zone survive the end of the world?
FAINT OF HEART - Rebecca's husband doesn't return from his weekend camping trip. And when somebody shows up at the house, it's not him. At gunpoint, Rebecca learns what has happened. Two men have kidnapped Gary. He went through a weekend of pure hell. They'll give him back to her, but first, Rebecca has to relive his entire experience, step by horrific step... and survive...
KUTTER - Charlie Stanlon is a serial killer. A ghastly, vicious sociopath who chains women to a table in his basement and tortures them to death. He has no friends. He has no family. He despises his co-workers. His only pleasure in life is to cause pain and terror. Until the day he finds an adorable Boston Terrier and takes it home...
FACIAL - Greg has just killed the man he hired to kill one of his wife's many lovers. He's now got a dead body in his office. Carlton, Greg's brother, desperately needs a dead body. It's kind of related to the lion corpse that he found in his basement. This is the normal part of the story...
