Unlucky Charms: A Horror Fantasy
by Murray Peters

It's another St. Patrick's Day in the Longhorn Bar, where no green beer is served. When lightning strikes, Unlucky Charms enters and orders a green beer. Mallory, a tough dude, refuses to serve the little man dressed as a leprechaun. No green beer here, Mallory says. But Charms insists. And when he is denied again, he pulls out his magic limestone rocks - each one grows into unholy vengeance. But revenge for what? Not selling green beer on St. Patrick's Day? Or something much more sinister? WARNING NOT FOR THE INNOCENT This book is full of coarse language, extreme violence and gore. You have been warned.
