For years, Jerry fantasized about killing his wife. The Jerry who lived in his head had no problem smothering, stabbing, or even poisoning his nagging, control-freak of a wife, but real Jerry couldn't bring himself to do so much as disagree with her. Then a freak accident on a rain-slick Oregon highway gives Jerry a chance he never thought he'd get. Only like the old adage says: Be careful what you wish for.
BONUS: This edition of "Dead Things" includes a free copy of "Strike Two" also by Annie Reed.
