Arnzen has honed his craft to deliver the highest voltage using the fewest words. According to the author â€œHorror is the genre of the jolt, the shock, the spark. The horror storyâ€™s conflict is always a matter of life and death, but deathâ€¦almost always comes too soonâ€”thatâ€™s why we fear it.â€ And now readers have a new reason to be afraid. One hundred new reasons!,From the grotesque to the hilarious these bits of micro-fiction will keep you entertained long after you put the book down.
