    About this ebook

    Shock, crime, horror! Nine tough, thrilling, chilling tales - most published in leading men's magazines. Stories from 'Man', 'Man Junior', 'Pocket Man', 'Squire' and other male mags.

    In 'Night Flight to Amsterdam', a millionaire's life depends on stealing another man's coat.
    In 'The Round Metal Tomb' a con escapes jail by being welded into a 44-gal drum. It seems the perfect ploy - until he discovers where the drum will be stored!
    In 'So Very Lifelike' the wife of a wealthy taxidermist takes a lover. And learns what it means to stuff things up.
    In 'Kidney Punch', a Mafia boss on dialysis makes the mistake of monstering a nurse.
    In the SF epic, 'The Justice Wire' there's a diabolical switcheroo you'll never see coming.
    In 'Come Down Killer' a gung-ho reporter ends up with a killer on top of an industrial chimney.
    In 'Melting Point' a truck driver with a leaking sump discovers a new substitute for oil.
    Then there's 'Hot Shot' where who's-up-who becomes a matter of life and death.
    And 'Split' where we meet a man who is equal to anything - from break-ins to nuclear war! (23,000 words)
