Yuppieville

by Tony Richards
Yuppieville by Tony Richards
Unrated

A chapbook.

Frank and Joannie want a better life than the one they currently have in Los Angeles. A quieter life. A safer one, in the sort of place where they can bring up children. So they move out of the city, to the new community of Youngesville, Nevada. And at first, it seems to offer most of the things they were looking for. Nothing bad ever happens here. Their neighbours are all people of the same kind as themselves.

But what is the peculiar ‘test’ that Leonora Strang keeps putting the men around her through? Why is Judith Mackenzie – the local realtor – under the impression that she’s ‘vetting’ newcomers? What is the significance of October 24th?

And then the few inhabitants who don’t really ‘fit in start’ having accidents.

Welcome to a brand-new way of life... and death.

Welcome to Yuppieville.

“A hell of a writer, one of today’s masters of dark fiction. He kept me glued to my sofa for a whole evening, begging for more until the very last sentence.” – Mario Guslandi, Horror World Reviews
