A sister's doll doesn't take kindly to insults, and proves it. A puppet maker believes his creations are out to get him. A mother can't stand her son's new favorite toy... and for good reason. In Michael Crane's latest collection of terrifying and darkly comic drabbles, you'll find out why Playtime is only fun for those with vicious intentions. In these thirty 100-word stories you'll run into deranged toys with old scores to settle, homicidal sociopaths and other unapologetic creatures that lurk in the shadows. In LESSONS III: DEMONIC DOLLS AND OTHER MORBID DRABBLES , nobody ever leaves Playtime in one piece... Features bonus drabbles/shorts from authors David Dalglish, Daniel Arenson, Sean Sweeney, Imogen Rose and Jason G.Anderson. (Want more drabbles? LESSONS IV: The Dead Carnival and Other Morbid Drabbles is now available!) _________________________________________________________________ "Lessons III is filled with the irreverent, horrific, and somehow delightful stories that I've come to know and love from Michael Crane." —Amanda Hocking, author of the TRYLLE trilogy and MY BLOOD APPROVES "Yes! Michael Crane continues to entertain lovers of dark humor in this third installment of morbid drabbles Lessons III, another collection of one-hundred word gruesome tales, kept me smiling as I turned the pages. Will there be a fourth? I hope so!" —Karen Cantwell, author of TAKE THE MONKEYS AND RUN and CITIZEN INSANE
