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.
