Gruesome Grocery Tales April Maguire

The grocery store is the place where we buy our milk, our bread, our fruit, and our meats. We say hello to the lady who gives our kids a free cookie. We ask for help from the man who butchers our beef or chicken. We smile at the man who sweeps the floors, and we give our money to the young cashier at the registers. The supermarket is the one safe place where we all come together for the exact same purpose. Or Is It? How safe is your produce when its invaded by flies? Where does that delicious, bright red meat actually come from? What happens to the pretty teenager when her long, blonde hair comes exceptionally close to the conveyor belt? How do we know those samples are really fresh? Gruesome Grocery Tales explores the dark side of working and shopping in a seemingly ordinary market place. Each story reveals something twisted and malevolent lying in wait for the average customer whose only task is how to get out of the store alive.
