Unstable: Twisted Tales & Tasty Entrails
Author: Barbara Blanks
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1794749071
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 113
Book Description
Barbara Blanks is equally adept at both horrific blood-thirsty stories and humorous blood-thirsty stories. She is, in fact, a little afraid to turn her back on herself because she doesn't know from what sinister brain vault some of these story ideas escaped. This mixture of mystery, crime, horror, and humor will leave you off-balance, which is-perhaps-better than being unbalanced. Or Unstable. But don't press the issue with the author. Really. Don't. Suggestions: Stay away from power tools. Avoid parks, cemeteries, zoos, farms, malls, stores, theaters, and ... your own home. And don't go toward the light at the end of the tunnel. Parental Guidance Advised only because some subject matter may be disturbing to youngsters.
