Getting Even — Tom MacDonald

Getting Even is a collection of thirty-five stories mostly based on vengeance. They are, in the main, grotesque in character with a satirical bent and sometimes having redeeming social value. Included in this excursion are: whodunits, sci-fi, icon-smashing, unusual people, perfect crimes,and delusions of grandeur. The morphing of the ridiculous normal to the future lowest depths of television, plus the mostly bogus nature of the dating game, are also included. These stories might stimulate the reader into having fresh insights, such as what to do with the archetypal mother-in-law, or anyone for that matter who gets in the way of a decent life.
