Every place has its unique sensibility; a flavour that makes it special. Whether one is going somewhere new or discovering the secrets that make the familiar seem foreign, where you are matters as much as when you’re there. The stories in this fifth collection from Plan B Magazine occur at the intersection of the familiar and the strange, the rise of the unexpected and the twist in the road. Let’s take a journey to the unknown.

If You're Not One Percent is not to be missed.""This book is crazy. It's like a hillbilly Assault on Precinct 13 or Straw Dogs with a larger cast. It's full speed ahead on this twisty road. Blood is shed and nobody is spared in this inventive and unique thriller.""If you like non-stop action, Todd Morr is the author to read. Lots of action, with doses of humor thrown in for good measure. A fast paced read that keeps you glued to the page.""This book is weird. I have no idea why I read it, but it was hard to put down...""It's a classic. Snatch it up."

"You ever choke a man out with his own shirt?" "What kind of question is that?" "A yes or no one." Cooke is a free man. He has a new name and a new life in a new place. Even though DNA evidence exonerated him from a horrific crime plenty of people still believe he is guilty, and to survive behind bars he had to become what they said he was. Taking a job working for the lawyer who helped set him free puts him in the middle of a bunch of trouble. To save the life of a pretty young lawyer and her son he is asked to become what he was falsely convicted of years ago, a brutal remorseless killer. "The man has an ear for great dialogue. It was compelling just enough to read the characters stab back and forth with their words. The scenes were well-constructed and tight. Morr managed to keep the lead character floating in that shade of grey where yeah, he was exonerated, but does it really matter? I want another book out of this guy. Tomorrow." - Ryan Sayles "It's Cooke himself who is the real jam in this particular jelly donut of crime. His portrayal of the complex, hard-assed trouble magnet is an inspired one and makes for a compelling protagonist who is easy to like in spite of his past, or maybe because of it. Captain Cooker is a solid debut and Todd Morr has a smooth, accomplished style that belies the fact that this novel is his first ever published work. His well worked scene construction and rock solid narrative voice both point towards an author who is already completely at ease with his craft. If you like your fiction boiled hard and served with a side order of panache then check out Captain C." Chris Leek - writing for Out of the Gutter
