    About this ebook

    It's easy to kill someone; you just squeeze the trigger.  The trick is getting paid.

    Meet the hitman, a politically incorrect sociopath with virtually no redeeming qualities.

    You're going to love him.

    This short story was originally published in Robert Bloch's Psychos.  It also appears in Quick Shots and The Hitman Stories (an omnibus edition of all 6 hitman stories).  If you have any of those, this tale is already in your possession, but feel free to buy this version, too.

      May 14, 2022

      Full disclosure. I don’t like Steve Coogan. But when the Guardian asked me to interview the controversial funnyman, I jumped at the chance – and not just because I’ve been replaced by a younger presenter on the BBC’s magazine show This Time, and have

      Trying To Stay Alive In gta V: Chaos Mod Part I

      Mar 23, 2021
