Three short stories of suspense from award-winning author Ken Pelham.
"Itchy": A common malady--the insufferable itch--drives a man to his limits and beyond. No one can resist a good scratch while reading this one.
Originally appeared in Pleiades Magazine, 1988.
"Great Minds Think Alike": A put-upon waitress in a late-night diner makes hamburger of her husband. Literally. But others have vested interests in her diner and what she has to offer on an intimate level. Best-laid plans, and all that.
Originally appeared in No Idea Magazine, 1988.
"Double Effect": Off the Florida coast, a pair of treasure-hunters hit the big score that has consumed them for years, and face the burning desire that drove them to pursue it in the first place. A tale of old Brigands Key. First time in publication.
