Chop House

The perfect before-bedtime book...if you want to wake up SCREAMING! Horrors dwell in the crumbling century-old tenement known to locals as CHOP HOUSE. It's definitely not a nice place to visit, and you sure as Hell wouldn't want to live there! The disturbingly grim, darkly grotesque and sometimes downright gross short stories in this chilling collection feature characters ranging in age from an infant with an inappropriate appetite ("I Think Something's Wrong With the Baby") to an elderly, amputated and infested hag ("The Monster"). Other tales include a vengeance-minded prostitute ("The Red Hand"), a trio of unsuspecting trick-or-treaters ("Now and Later"), a deranged and very demanding dancer ("Fingerpoppin'"), an insecticide-contaminated maniac ("The Golden Man"), a cruelly victimized vet ("Hasn't Got One"), a drug dealer with an overly concerned mother ("That Boy"), a former DJ whose attempt at good grooming will be the death of him ("Weirdbeard"), and a terminal patient facing a very unwelcome afterlife ("Death Soup").
