In his first short story collection for teens, Lubar mines some truly grim stuff, drawing from previously published works and adding some original pieces to shock, horrify, and frighten older readers. Thirteen stories cover revenge, murder, dismemberment, and a myriad of other awful fates. Lubar's sharp, sardonic writing is effective, and his moody, evocative settings are vivid.
