The Tunge Pit

So the sociopath waiting by the water will need to turn to a new victim.

Leaving behind an everyday object that will be the death of a drifter.

Forcing Kris to high-tail it out of town to save herself, which lands her in the middle of a stranger's deadly game of self-preservation.

The neighbors in the hills think they know something about Terrence - and turn their prejudice into prophecy. Reading the obituaries leads a budding con man to widowed Mrs. Danbury, her balcony garden and her desperate grip on her family. What the hell is tunge anyway? Carson asks Nicholas mockingly. The ugly answer, he'd soon learn, would involve him.

Twenty-four stories, each grounded in the last. Each with its own sordid ending. And a powderkeg plot that throws the reader into a world that doubles back on itself, shooting shreds of humanity like shrapnel in this never-ending tale of human fallibility.
