Which flavor do you prefer?” A serial killer forever trapped in a Super Max prison, interviewed by the woman of his dreams … A fifteen year old girl in 1912, forced to choose between a man she does not love and a boy who might just kill for her … A man who discovers, after forty years, that he has a twin brother—living in his stomach … Which flavor do you prefer? A cancer-stricken old man who can listen to the dead call up from Hell through his stethoscope … A home security system that doubles as entertainment of the worst possible kind … A priest who hears confessions from the depths of Purgatory … A teacher whose test results might very well cost his students, or himself, all they have to give … Which flavor do you prefer? Cinnamon, peppermint, or raspberry? Because, you know, the Paris Green Solution is available in three different varieties … Leave on just one light. Settle in, alone, at the head of your dining room table, and get ready for a long, nightmarish repast of horror.
