Two novella-length tales of the twisted and the bizarre...the frightening and the deranged...the mad and the macabre... KUTTER by Jeff Strand: Charlie, a vicious, heartless serial killer, takes home a stray Boston Terrier he finds in a park. Can this dog make him into a better person? REMAINS by Michael McBride: The discovery of human remains prompts a new search for seven missing theology students.
