Mama’s dead, wrapped in black plastic, and her unsigned checks are just piling up.
Bill’s eating beets because he’s run out of money. He teams up with Fat Boy and Chaplin to rob a fireworks stand, but things go bad—really bad—until Bill crawls out of the swamp so mosquito-bitten that he fits right in with the freaks of the ODDITIES OF THE WORLD carnival.
Frost, a true good Samaritan, runs the show: Double Buckwheat, Bim, Potty, U.S. Grant the bearded lady, Conrad the dog-man and the rest of the motley crowd. Of course Gidget—“Bad is good, Baby!”—wants out, Bill wants Gidget and the show must go on. Through it all the enigmatic Ice Man, an exhibit of uncertain origin, lies in the freezer, his history changing with Frost’s storytelling whim.
In Freezer Burn, you’ll root for all the wrong people for all the wrong reasons, as Bill worries about crossing the line. Could be that Lansdale’s right—“There isn’t any line. The only line is the one you draw yourself.”
