In Graverobbers Wanted (No Experience Necessary), he took a job digging up a shallow grave.
It turned out badly.
In Single White Psychopath Seeks Same, he took a job as a bodyguard at a séance.
It turned out worse.
But now, meet the new, improved Andrew Mayhem. He has a real job. He's a better father and husband. And he's vowed to quit accepting money from strange women in coffee shops to perform tasks that go terribly, terribly wrong.
This time he's just taking a relaxing camping trip with his family and best friend. No shortcuts. The gas tank is full. The sinister warning of the crazy old man is taken seriously.
Unfortunately, when you're Andrew Mayhem, you just can't help being attacked by a group of savage killers bent on inflicting ghastly torture and bringing horrific death. Relentlessly pursued through a booby-trapped forest, it's one crisis after another as Andrew fights to protect his family, loses a body part or two, and faces the single darkest moment of his entire life.
Action-packed, twisted, and completely outrageous, Casket For Sale (Only Used Once) is the funniest and scariest Andrew Mayhem adventure yet!
Jeff Strand lives in Florida with his wife, his mentally questionable cat, and his hideous wardrobe. He's been writing ever since he was old enough to throw screaming fits in crowded supermarkets and is glad to have finally gotten some use out of that creative writing degree his dad paid for. He has several other wacky comedy novels in store; unfortunately, ignoring him won't make him go away.
I read [this] book in one sitting...I didn’t get any housework or paperwork done, I didn’t even remember to eat. For five hours I was Jeff Strand’s bitch, and I have to say people, I loved every minute of it. I promise that by the time you close the book, the momentum that was created and sustained throughout will leave you breathless with beads of sweat dripping down your face. Between the eerie atmosphere and the scent of perspiration mixed with blood, Strand manages to evoke pure desperation. With such refreshing, sharp writing and a tight well-plotted story, this demonstrates Jeff Strand as a serious contender in the horror genre!
BloodyMary of Horror-Web Dark Reviews -- Five StarsI have often been quoted as saying that this author, Jeff Strand, is one sick puppy. Well, I now stand corrected. Jeff Strand is NOT one sick puppy. Jeff Strand is one totally insane, foaming at the mouth, rabid demon. And yes, you may quote me on that too. This is the third book featuring Andrew Mayhem and his rotten luck. If you do not like your horror involving children and innocents being killed and/or tortured, do NOT read this. If you like your horror to be at its worst, but with some laughter thrown in, then this is the book for you! There were parts that had me laughing aloud and there were parts where I wondered if I really wanted to continue reading. Sound like a book for you? Then snatch up this book as soon as you can. Highly recommended for totally sick people.
Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews -- Five StarsStrand performs an incredible balancing act between humor and horror. Belly laughs are followed by stomach-churning terror, frequently on the same page.
Cemetery DanceTrying to synopsize one of Mr. Strand's incredible works is rather like trying to stuff a full-grown elephant into a bag small enough to be carry-on luggage—it just isn't possible. A seriously hilarious read.
Scribe's World -- Five StarsManages to be both hilariously funny and wildly scary at the same time...full of great one-liners...if you like your heroes slightly bumbling and your chills laced with acerbic humor, you'll love this.
Sime-Gen Reviews -- Five StarsYes, Jeff Strand has created another sick book with his famous warped sense of humor! Even better than the first! Don't miss it!
Huntress ReviewsI wonder about the author's sanity. Jeff Strand is a brilliant writer with a very active and unordinary imagination. Makes you cringe on one page and has you laughing on the next.
