Barry and the Deadly Avocado

COLD DEAD HANDS by Jeff Strand has nothing to do with zombies or any kind of apocalypse. This a suspense-thriller infused with drama, centering on a group of people hiding in a freezer from some Droog-wannabes attacking a grocery store. The characters offer quite a variety of backgrounds and personalities, but Barry stands out, especially since the story is told through his POV.

I had no idea who would live or die, which is refreshing, and I enjoyed the dialogue immensely. I'm recommending this story to everyone, and I would love to see Strand's novella be turned into a movie.

As always,
