A Hammer, A Worm, and a Fortune Cookie by Jeff Menapace

 



A Hammer, A Worm, and a Fortune Cookie: Three Tantalizing Tales of the Macabre by Jeff Menapace

Three creepy and quick short stories for your amusement! I enjoyed reading all three, even though they were quick to end abruptly. At the end of each story, Menapace gives a brief telling of how he came about the story. 

The first short story,  Second Chance, is about a young boy who seeks a second chance at earning his fathers love. He goes to an extreme measure to win his love. The story is fast paced and gruesome.

Story number 2, Worm, is a nasty story! A woman swallows a worm for health reasons. Major plot twist at the end!

The third story, Paying It Forward, is about a young couple wanting to do something kind for a stranger. All actions have consequences! 

All of the stories were entertaining and quick to read. You could read each story on your lunch break or in the evening before bed. I would recommend this book for everyone, especially if you are looking for a quick book to read.
