Description
Death by Veggies is a collection of short stories focused on one question: What if eating veggies really will kill you? In these five tales of revenge, persistence, and renewal, you’ll meet two gardeners, a sous chef, a pumpkin carver, and a retired assassin, all using vegetables as their weapon of choice – in unexpected and often unsavory ways.
Are these would-be heroes justified in their unorthodox use of carrots, beets, lettuce, sprouts and pumpkin, or did someone hit ’em in the head with a potato? You be the judge.
This collection includes the first four Death by Veggies short stories: Lettuce Prey, Sprouted, Jack, and Beet It, plus 24 Carrot, that latest story in the series!
