WILL has got a secret.

He keeps that secret hidden in the field out back behind his house.

Sam and Artie will do just whatever Will tells them to do because they know what Will's secret is and they'll do anything to make sure that Will doesn't lose his temper on them.

Because you can never tell about Will...

What critics say about **A FINE SACRIFICE**.

"A FINE SACRIFICE is a chillingly understated story of a baseball-obsessed alpha male, his misogynistic outlook and the soul-warping effects he's had on the unfortunate people in his orbit." - Jim Lee, Scavenger's Newsletter (1999)

"Steve Vernon was born to write. He's the real deal and we're lucky to have him." - Richard Chizmar, Cemetery Dance Magazine
"If Harlan Ellison, Richard Matheson and Robert Bloch had a three-way sex romp in a hot tub, and then a team of scientists came in and filtered out the water and mixed the leftover DNA into a test tube, the resulting genetic experiment would most likely grow up into Steve Vernon." - Bookgasm
