In this first volume of tales from novelist Chris Rogers, you'll travel inside the minds of unpredictable characters from both sides of death's bony grasp: a young photographer stumbling in the footsteps of a serial killer; a 911 dispatcher working the lunatic shift; a blood-soaked lover whose cries of innocence go unheard; a writer who would kill for a great story; a cop facing the damned-foolest case of his career; a confectioner who sugarcoats bites of murder; a desirable woman of strangely insatiable appetites. In the spirit of Rod Serling, Edgar Allan Poe and Alfred Hitchcock, these narratives take you down a path filled with thorny surprises, often frightful, sometimes amusing and always gripping. A lover of people, language, irony, and mad speculation, Rogers has a unique view of humanity, especially from the dark side. Enjoy the read with one caution: once having sampled Rogers' shorts you will be hooked.
