Overview
Within the Supermarket you’ll meet a corrupt prison warden who sells true crime fanatics a serial killer meet and greet; healthcare workers who cause a massive car pile-up so they can murder its victims while pretending to treat them; a Hollywood undertaker who sells rich perverts carnal access to recently departed celebrities; secret cutting club members whose pastime presages a bloody nightmare at their high school; a supermodel who, while recovering from plastic surgery at a Swiss clinic, discovers that she has simultaneously washed up dead on a tropical beach; an overeager life coach who cyber stalks and surreptitiously abuses her clients to better them; an OCD sufferer whose irrational fear of being suspected of murder sends him on a neighborhood killing spree; a health insurer using insidious tactics to discourage patients from seeking costly care; and police officers who mysteriously murder their colleagues and each other after executing a lethal, botched raid.
Horror tinged with comedy, or comedy tinged with horror, these stories should delight even the most jaded speculative fiction fans.
