FEVER HOUSE<\/a> by Keith Rosson<\/p>\n

First sentences…<\/p>\n

\n

Tim Reed sits in the driver’s seat of his ancient and rust-punched Datsun hatchback, balancing a screwdriver on the tip of his finger.\u00a0 Hutch and Tim are killing time, waiting for some poor guy to come home so they can terrify him and, if necessary, perform grievous harm to the architecture of the man’s body.\u00a0 It’s the usual deal: reluctance to pay a debt owed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Overview:\u00a0 Beware of Spoilers\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tim and Hutch are leg-breakers for Peach Sorreno.\u00a0 Although the two are more than willing to throw a beatdown on deadbeats who’ve borrowed from Peach, when Tim and Hutch show up to collect, more often than not they come away with money.\u00a0 That’s par for the course and the way it’s been working that night.<\/p>\n

Until they get to Wesley.<\/p>\n

Wesley’s a methhead. He claims he has no money.\u00a0 When Tim and Hutch search Wesley’s apartment, they find a severed hand in his refrigerator.\u00a0 Tim and Hutch decide to take Wesley and the hand to Peach’s warehouse.\u00a0 There they’ll sort out what to do next.<\/p>\n

What Tim and Hutch don’t know, but will soon learn is the hand causes anyone near it to get violent, murderous thoughts.\u00a0 These urges become so strong and persistant that those under the influence lose control and act on them.\u00a0 They will brutally murder anyone near.\u00a0 Worse still, the killed by a person under the influence of the demon hand, reanimate as zombies with the same sadistic killing urges.<\/p>\n

As the madness spreads two factions work to recover the hand…<\/p>\n
