a book of lucidly written tales to turn your stomach
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
i found my copy of this book at a discard sale at my local library and read on lunch breaks from my summer job of answering the questions of tourists in my sunny canadian city. with what fascination and horror did i turn these pages, sitting alone with my bagel and carrot sticks in the basement of the mall! these stories are chilling, beyond chilling, they are captivating, they grab you by the back of the skull and won't let go until you have come to their inevitable conclusion and looked into the abyss of humanity. all twenty tales are epic. all twenty tales will cut you to the bone. and all twenty should be read.
