Description
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.
