A cheerful snack mascot who snaps under the pressure. The nightmarish effects of the most depressing holiday song of all time. A virtual-reality environment that allows you to enact your most depraved fantasies...sort of. Giant mutant cockroaches doing battle with zombies in the Old West. An unnerving discovery in the Book of Revelations. The true secret of silent comedian Buster Keaton's success. Plus a Halloween curse, a lot of psychopaths, and much more!

Ready to feel the chills running down your spine? Wait, that's just the green gelatin monster from one of the stories in this collection of very silly (and a few not-so-silly) horror stories. Vampires, werewolves, demons, mummies, and zombies compete with evil little Shirley Temple look-alikes and their collectibles, centerpieces and church women, cops and monster hunters, for your laughs. It's a light-hearted take on the horror genre.

Life is a bit like bubblegum and candies. Sometimes you have to keep on chewing so that you extract whatever you can out of it. At times, the bubble you blow bursts unexpectedly and you are left with a sticky mess. Sometimes you lick it slowly and relish it. When you greedily bite off more than you can chew or a hard boiled sugar candy slips down inadvertently, you bear the pain as it makes its way down the food pipe. At rare times, when you manage to strike just the right balance, a feeling of contentment reigns supreme.

Follow the tired worker drone looking for something new to break up his daily monotony as he once again gets assigned a 117. An elderly clown combing the streets of a southern Ohio town looking for one last job before he calls it quits. What seems like a simple game of chess between two friends has an unsuspected outcome. A group of fanatical friends trying to save America by trolling the internet get more than they bargained for when the tables turn. A veteran recounts his experience in a Vietnam-era zombie encounter.

Five short stories. Stories include: "Who's Tougher" "You In or Out" "Either Way You're Dead" "Candy or Flowers" "In My Shoes".
