From their childhood into their adult lives, the two younger sisters are harassed and belittled by their older sister, which ultimately leads to murder.

He learns invaluable lessons about animals from Granny who cares for and operates on countless animals, after hunters injure them. However, he discovers a secret he must keep hidden forever. The Star- Near the end of slavery, the slaves on the Hollister Plantation are abandoned. And left to survive on meager rations of food they confiscate from the “Big House.” While waiting for an end to slavery, they face a menacing adversary. Ceiling Rats- After they escape from the Elmira Research Facility, malformed recipients of genetic engineering wreak havoc on the residents of the Westfield Home State Hospital. They claw at the nerves of four high strung patients putting stress on the mating game between the sultry nurse Clarissa Johnson and the engaged psychiatrist Dr. Christopher Sebastian. A Man’s Scent- Charlotte, a forty-something attorney becomes frustrated with her unsuccessful dating jaunts and goes with friends to visit a soothsayer where she reveals her desire for a husband.
