Thomas R. Rondinella

A horror anthology with three stories connected by the thread of alienation and confusion within the seemingly ideal backdrop of suburban America.

A man forced to abandon his wife and daughter years earlier must risk his life to settle an old score and reunite his family.

A former female cop is framed by corrupt police, acting in collusion with the local judge, and has to fight her way out of the pen, alone, against tough inmates, and the people in charge.

To relax, a group of stressed-out executives go to the country for a weekend to play war games.

Seven girls from the local Catholic school are chosen to go inventory the Wells estate. It sounds like a fun weekend until the girls hold a séance to try and contact Jennifer Wells, a 20-year-old who died mysteriously on the grounds in 1939. Their weekend gets even stranger when it is revealed one of the girls, Jackie, is a dead ringer for the deceased.

College girls are learning life.

A peaceful country club becomes the hunting ground for a demonically possessed lawnmower with a taste for human flesh.

Billy Starkman, just an average Midwestern every-man, wakes up one morning and decides to murder his family before taking up a sniper position on a water tower.

Martha, a widow living in rural Pennsylvania, comes home to find her daughter about to blow her own head off with a shotgun in the basement of their house. Martha doesn't succeed in stopping her child's horrific demise, but the girl's death gradually leads the grieving mother to investigate a conspiracy that involves a legendary local witch, Nazi dabbling with the occult, and secret government experiments, with the story even referencing the fabled Philadelphia Experiment

Nina is a high-strung New York actress and Anton is a struggling actor who wants to change gears and start a family. Their relaxing day starts off beautifully (and humorously), but they realize that their feelings may be at odds.

In the rural South, a down-and-out gambling addict reignites a deep-rooted rivalry with a ruthless loan shark to finance his nimwitted nephew's half-baked scheme.

May is an ex-college student who can't even afford to buy ice cream and a pregnancy test (which she claims is for a friend). When her card is declined multiple times, her former college professor/mentor embarrassingly steps up to pay for them. The only thing the professor asks in return is that May share the ice cream (Peanut Butter Swirl) with her. The two then sit in the store's parking lot, eating ice cream (and having some whiskey) in the professor's SUV, and -- slowly -- the full truth of May's story comes out.
