Rumours Of The Grotesque

A telemarketer dials another number... ...hints of destruction... An insurance adjustor deals with a claim... ...shadows of evil... A family gathers around the Christmas tree... ...rumours of the grotesque... With twenty-three short stories, Steven Lee Climer explores the horrific monsters that live just beneath the surface of everyday life. From the ladder-climbing working girl to the high-school geek, from the redneck truck driver to the nurse trying to pay the bills, no one is safe from the dangers, the insanity, and the grotesque realities he creates.
