Book Overview

by Jeff Menapace (Author)

Three new tales of terror from award-winning author Jeff Menapace have arrived!
These tales include:

Second Chance: After suffering a career-ending injury on the mat, a former high school wrestling prodigy is desperate to win back his abusive father's acceptance via his father's love for slasher films. How will he do it? By becoming a real-life "slasher" himself, of course.

Worm: While on vacation in Mexico, a young woman frantic to lose weight ingests something she was told is a "harmless" tapeworm. A tapeworm is anything but harmless, though soon after ingesting it, she will wish it was only a tapeworm.

Paying it Forward: On Easter weekend, a young couple decides to pay it forward by paying for a lonely man's meal in a Chinese restaurant. They'll soon learn, in horrific fashion, that kindness does not always beget kindness.

So, strap yourself in, leave the light on, and don't bother making any coffee-you'll be up all night without it.
