    About this ebook

    A sinister puppet finally makes a new friend.
    A man learns about his bleak future.
    A killer has another painful lesson to teach.

    From the author of LESSONS AND OTHER MORBID DRABBLES comes this terrifying and amusing follow-up. 30 100-word shorts about horrible ghouls, monsters and deranged, bloodthirsty lunatics. In these drabbles, you'll run into kid-hungry goblins, sadistic dolls, zombies and psychopaths who believe that violence can solve just about anything.

    Disgusting, creepy and darkly comic, LESSONS II: ANOTHER MORBID DRABBLE COLLECTION is bound to entertain, as well as horrify.

    There's always time for another lesson...

    Features bonus story by David McAfee, from his horror collection DEVIL MUSIC AND 18 OTHER STORIES.
