A Boy, A Ghost, And A Killer Ice Cream Man

By Nicole Sarrantonio

The stories in A BOY, A GHOST, AND A KILLER ICE CREAM MAN tell the tales of three distinct people and their own struggles to deal with the hand they’ve been dealt. In “John’s Car,” twelve-year-old Ernie guards his brother’s 1940 DeSoto while he eagerly awaits for him to return home from war. An unnamed woman, haunted by two men to whom she owes a debt she cannot repay, flees for her life, leaving behind her fiancé and her life as she knew it, in “The Ghost”. Ed, a grumpy and crass ice cream man, is forever changed when a momentary distraction turns him into a murderer, and in the final story “I Scream, You Scream,” he must confront the consequences of his actions head-on.
