IThe night a trucker picked up the

| Ghostly Tales
of Love & Revenge, Daniel Cohen, 1992, 96 pp. $3.50
PB $14.95 HB |
 |
| Love is stronger than death and Daniel Cohen proves it in
these absolutely ghastly tales of love beyond the grave. "The uniform [Bruno] wore
was now rotted and tattered. His face had become a mask of skin tightly stretched over a
grinning skull. He pointed a skeletal hand toward a freshly dug grave. "This,"
he said, "is our wedding bed." Yeesh! Gruesome cover too. I don't advise taking
this book on your honeymoon. |
