HEAD IN THE ICEBOX: The market has crashed, Julian’s office has closed, and Grace has been fired. They’re in debt. They’ve sold everything worth selling. They’re down to the last bit of room on their credit cards. What’s left to do but kill a homeless man for a body double in an insurance scheme? Murder is never as simple as it seems, especially when ghosts get in on the action. BLACK BETTY AT THE GOLD RUSH: the Gold Rush roadhouse is the perfect night out, as far as its patrons can remember. What they don’t know won’t hurt them, or maybe it will… THE JAR: escaping a traumatic situation, a young woman finds history catching up to her and calls upon the kind of help shunned by modern, civilized society, but black magic is a two-way street. PELLETS: someone is creating odd and eerie art installations in public places; interesting and curious, until they’re simply terrifying. A DUSTY ROAD WEDDING: marriage is tough, tougher still when the couple comes to resent one another…tougher yet when they’re whisked into the past and facing off with an atrocity committed long before they were even born. THE PROMISE: she promised she’d be there for him, forever, even after he’s become permanently bed-ridden and endlessly needy. One novella and six short stories of ghosts, revenge, magic, cosmic monsters from places unknown, human metamorphosis, and buckets of blood, HEAD IN THE ICEBOX AND OTHER STORIES offers suspense, terror, and surprises.
