The three little pigs.<br><br>And now – MIDNIGHT HAT TRICK – a collection of three wonderfully chilling novellas from Nova Scotia storyteller Steve Vernon.<br><br>HAMMURABI ROAD is a dark tale of redneck noir revenge and retribution backwoods justice and getting closer to a black bear than you ever dreamed possible. The story starts with the eternal triangle – three men in a pick-up truck – two in front and one duct-taped in back.<br><br>NOT JUST ANY OLD GHOST STORY is a quiet little story about coming home and ghosts that you can never escape. It is a story that will take you to the very heart of storytelling itself.<br><br>SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME is a fast and fun read that asks the question – what would a bunch of over-the-hill old-time hockey players from Northern Labrador deal with a tour bus full of vampires? If you are having a hard time dealing with that concept – just throw the movie SLAPSHOT into a blender along with the movie 30 DAYS OF NIGHT and hit frappe.<br><br>"Steve Vernon gets it right.
