Short-but-sweet collection by Mark Tullius, one of the hardest-hitting horror authors around. Included are five somber strolls through what could be any suburban town. Find yourself: an overworked father trying to protect his son an injured construction worker questioning reality a sensitive teenage girl watching a mixed martial arts battle to the death an aging DJ granting a sick girl's glorious last wish. The fifth and final tale is a shocking jaunt through the author's mind, full of juicy revelations and admissions. These bizarre and bloody tales will leave you begging for more. I went into these pages not having any familiarity with Mr. Tullius. The stories are quick and very involved with the first person narrative of the author acting the part in each offering.
