Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

Witness a slender neck being circled by rough hands... sharp metal violently stabbing and twisting... the emerging viscous dark red liquid being guzzled greedily, lingering on lips and teeth, followed by the laughter of madness. And that's just Iris and Panda at a wine tasting! "Pass me the bottle, woman! We might as well KILL it..."

The Panda Book of Horror will make your fur stand on end. Your blood AND your G&T will run ice cold.
