    About this ebook

    Denise struggles through the challenges of a bad boss, a thankless job, a major winter ice storm, and squirrels invading her house. Three of her problems are solved by the unexpected intervention of the fourth. Upon reading this story, you might just think twice when opening a can of mixed nuts.

    A work of short, humorous horror from our Spectres line.
