The Savage Jukebox (Signed Copy)

This collection of short stories was inspired by my fascination with true crime, and a desire to understand how the criminal mind works. This began as a self-assigned project to learn the art of writing horror, and while I was unable to stop myself from making some of them funnier than others, I hope that you, the reader, will find them appropriately unsettling. The following selections may make you laugh, may make you gasp, or may make you think that this character reminds you of someone you know. If so, get out now.
