Review:
An amazing line-up of authors, shining in their creativity! I had a lot of fun reading all of these, each one centering on the theme of neighbors written in each author's own style. Showcasing their talent in horror stories!

This is one of those “WTH”did I just read? stories, but it also made me chuckle! The meat on the grill is not a prime choice.
H is for Happy Homemaker by Shawnna Deresch
Remember the old days when the door to door sellers were considered the “Ding Dong ladies?” Pushy and often talked many into buying their products, would not take no for an answer. There is more to this story than meets the eye, there is something hidden underneath the surface of all that make-up!

A combination of lust and bloodshed.
I love the direction this one went in, great story!

I don’t like change, either!
The main character is so easy to connect with and the ending is a jaw dropper!
