They were young. They were looking for kicks. They decided to play an innocent game in a strange old house.
First it turned ugly. Then it turned brutal. Finally it became a nightmare of horror and violence.
None of them was ever the same again.

*A new story featuring Stroup, the “hero” of many of the stories in Broken on the Wheel of Sex
The old man hears them before he sees them, the three boys coming over the hill, disturbing the peace by the river where he’s fishing. He smells the gun oil, too much oil on a brand-new shotgun. These aren’t hunters, they’re rich kids who don’t care about the river and the fish and the old man. Or his dog.
Red is the name of the old man’s dog, his best friend in the world And when the boys shoot the dog – for nothing, for simple spite – he sees red, like a mist before his eyes.
And before the whole hing is done there’ll be more red. Red for blood…
