(Dis)Comfort Food

Revenge is a meal best served in a casserole dish "... an unsettling story that goes from appetizing to nauseating as the narrative plunges from dark fantasy straight into horror, where familiar ingredients bring unexpected results." - - - Publishers Weekly "Brad Carter's (dis)Comfort Food serves up a tasty mix of mayhem, murder and magic in Middle America. You'll never look at Church Ladies and casseroles the same way again." - - - Nancy A. Collins, author of SUNGLASSES AFTER DARK & the GOLGOTHAM series "Start with a saucy dash of classic horror. Add some cheese and a bit of home cooked black comedy. You'll eat this book right up." - - - Jeyn Roberts, bestselling author of DARK INSIDE & RAGE WITHIN Meet Rosie Kirkland, a quiet homemaker with a magical talent for murder.
