Uneasy Reading: 4 Horror Shorts

By Jason Tucker

Uneasy Reading is a collection of four short horror stories. The collection, at nearly 11,000 words, also includes an excerpt from the upcoming vampire/crime novella Wetwork.

The little tastes of horror found in Uneasy Reading include:

"Dead Favors" – Martin hates Silver Point and all of the rotten memories his old hometown holds. He's only returning because his father is finally dead and because Cassie needs Martin to help with some unpleasant work.

"Rorschach's Vampires" – Only Gordon sees them. They change shape and they tell him what to do. They demand things and he's more than willing to give in to their needs.

"Worst Thing I Ever Did" – What's the worst thing you've ever done? Find out the terrible thing one man did in this short zombie tale.

"God's Food" – Here is a dark retelling of the Brothers Grimm fairytale of the same name.

Excerpt from Wetwork: Joey 'Nine' is a first class killer, a hitman who gets the job done no matter the mess. But now he has to contend with a former crime boss who wants him dead and a shifty drug dealer with the munchies. When the damned vampires show up, they don't make things any easier.
