Things That Go Bump In My Head: A Book of Short Stories - Paperback

by Sumiko Saulson (Author)

"Things That Go Bump In My Head" is a collection of short stories and other writing by horror and science fiction novelist Sumiko Saulson. A bit of old fashioned horror... a ghost story... a couple of works on the dark humor side of horror (and they are unabashedly funny), a science-fiction dystopic tale, a few works of psychological horror... even a bit of poetry. It contains "Frankenzombie", "A Life of Her Own", "Agrippa", "I, Stammer (In Disbelief)", "Dead Horse Summer", "Attempted Happiness" and other short stories. Because it is a collection of these pithy and varied tales... there is a bit for everyone: Reading "Things That Go Bump In My Head" is like entering a haunted house ride... you never know what you will find around the corner.
