And now - MIDNIGHT HAT TRICK - a collection of three wonderfully chilling novellas from Nova Scotia storyteller Steve Vernon.

There is magic in the number three. Just think about it. The three stooges. The three wise men. The three little pigs. And now - MIDNIGHT HAT TRICK - a collection of three wonderfully chilling novellas from Nova Scotia storyteller Steve Vernon. HAMMURABI ROAD is a dark tale of redneck noir, revenge and retribution, backwoods justice and getting closer to a black bear than you ever dreamed possible. The story starts with the eternal triangle - three men in a pick-up truck - two in front and one duct-taped in back. NOT JUST ANY OLD GHOST STORY is a quiet little story about coming home and ghosts that you can never escape. It is a story that will take you to the very heart of storytelling itself. SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME is a fast and fun read that asks the question - what would a bunch of over-the-hill old-time hockey players from Northern Labrador deal with a tour bus full of vampires? If you are having a hard time dealing with that concept - just throw the movie SLAPSHOT into a blender along with the movie 30 DAYS OF NIGHT and hit frappe. "Steve Vernon gets it right. SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME hits all the right notes with me. A wonderful cast of characters, great dialogue and an evil bus full of vicious vampires." - FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND "This genre needs new blood and Steve Vernon is quite a transfusion." - Edward Lee, author of GOON and THE BIGHEAD "Steve Vernon is the real deal." - Richard Chizmar, CEMETERY DANCE MAGAZINE
Autorenporträt
Steve Vernon is a storyteller. The man was born with a campfire burning at his feet. The word "boring" does not exist in this man's vocabulary - unless he's maybe talking about termites or ice augers. That's all that Steve Vernon will say about himself - on account of Steve Vernon abso-freaking HATES talking about himself in the third person. But I'll tell you what. If you LIKED the book that you just read drop me a Tweet on Twitter - @StephenVernon - and yes, old farts like me know how to twitter - and throw in a link to the Kobo version - and I'd be truly grateful. Reviews are ALWAYS appreciated - but I know that not all of you folks are into writing big long funky old reviews - so shout the book out just any way that you can - because I can use ALL the help I can get.
