Funny to Horror

About the Book

They have been married for seven years—six too many. The only thing they have ever agreed on is not to have children—until each begins contemplating the best way to kill the other.

In his compilation of darkly humorous short stories, Tim Corkery shares a look into the minds of a band of characters forced to make choices in life—some with deadly consequences. Bob and Linda live in an apartment beneath a man and his ailing mother—but no one has ever seen Mother Dearest. Colin hasn’t visited his aunt Mary in Old Nantasket in quite some time. He hopes she can help him with his math homework. But when he receives a strange note from his teacher in his math book, Colin is sent on a dangerous, wild goose chase that leads him straight to a kidnapper.

Funny to Horror shares a collection of entertaining short tales that explore the humor and horror in life and prove that sometimes being young, rich, and beautiful is just not enough.
