This is a collection of five horror/suspense stories by Weldon Burge, Executive Editor for Smart Rhino Publications. The stories include:
"Sizzle" -- A philandering doctor meets a hill man who wants the "sizzle" cut out of his brain
"Another Highway Fatality" -- A college girl, driving alone late at night during a heavy storm, is stalked by a car with a missing headlight
"White Hell, Wisconsin" -- A snow plow driver, plowing back roads in rural Wisconsin during a blizzard, fights for his life against elusive assailants
"Permanent Detention" -- A stressed-out teenager believes his History teacher is actually one of the living dead
"Blue Eye Burn" -- A Vietnam veteran is haunted by a terrifying incident involving a young Vietnamese girl
"This collection of short stories from Weldon Burge was exceptional. Besides his fine-tuned voice and sharp writing, the stories are all suspenseful, scary, and unique, despite the common thread of the theme. His ability to create visuals and evoke emotions with few words is amazing. There's nothing unnecessary in Burge's stories ... the prose is whittled down and crystal clear, allowing the reader to take the journey, however afraid you might be of where it will lead, without getting hung up on extraneous details or verbosity." -- Sydney Leigh
