    About this ebook

    A BLOODY SANDWICH has three ingredients: "Bad Child," "Side Effects May Vary," and "King of the Hill". We start with "Bad Child," a futuristic horror that follows the emotional struggle of space traveler Demetre against an alien stowaway that consumes the other passengers and uses their parts to survive.

    To serve as a chewy center, "Side Effects May Vary" throws in a psychological calamity of a daughter and her old mother that stumble upon pills that can actually subtract years from your life.

    "King of the Hill" ties together the macabre dish by providing a story about a boy who wakes up from an unsuccessful game of king of the hill.

    Thank you for ordering A BLOODY SANDWICH. We hope it sits well.

      “What’d you do now?” he hollered. Sheriff Thorn’s words struck my heart. Without thinking, I grasped the knife to pull it from her chest. “Shit, you crazy coot, drop it,” he snarled, then grabbed me up and slammed me against the side of the cruiser.
