The Bartender's Bedroom

Strange fiction. Horrid, lurid, and absurdly disturbing. Sometimes humorous, sometimes grisly, always outlandish. Each of these contemporary stories twist and turn to surprising conclusions. Read how a serial killer is repeatedly beaten out of his prey, culture shock leads to a terrifying revolt, and a lonely soldier takes an order to go too far. Titled after Gary Larson's "Komplaints" cartoon, a ridiculous complaint leads to horrifying murder. An app too good to be true, written à la Stephen King's "Word Processor of the Gods". Is it worth the deadly price? A disease that kills love and keeps on taking. What evil lies beneath perfect beauty? Find out in "Victoria's Secret". These and other stories to make you laugh, gasp, or cry.
