    About this ebook

    Tommy Baker is a gambler. If only he were better at it, he wouldn't have a loan shark about to kill him over five thousand dollars. In desperation, he makes a deal with a strange old man, who offers to give him the money in exchange for Tommy's cigarette habit. All Tommy has to do is never smoke again. It's a crazy deal, made by a crazy man. How could Tommy lose?

    A story from the upcoming horror anthology, Dirty Little Secrets, from the twisted mind that brought you the cult play, The Texas Chainsaw Musical!
