                               From the back cover:      “Revenge is a dish best served cold.”

                                                                                   Yeah? Sez who?

                                                                     If you prefer your vengeance served scalding hot with a side order of

                                                                     steaming gore,  then 51 Fiendish Ways to Leave Your Lover is the how-to guide

                                                                     you’ve been waiting for. Come on now. Vengeance has fueled some of the

                                                                     greatest plots in classic literature. Why should reality be any different?

 

                                                                     Why hold back? Let’s face it – the world is full of ex-lovers, current lovers

                                                                     and soon-to-be-ex-lovers who soooo have it coming to them. Now you can

                                                                     spice your life up with a generous helping of venom, and forget all that “living

                                                                     well is the best revenge” malarkey. Revenge is the best revenge.

 

                                                                     Bram Stoker Award-winning author Lisa Mannetti’s hilarious guidebook

                                                                     (replete with helpful illustrations by the celebrated artist Glen Chadbourne)

                                                                     will walk you – step by step – through the ghoulishly delicious process of getting over,

                                                                     getting on and getting even.                   

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

          

                                                                                                                                 

 

 

 

                                                                           Advance Praise of 51 Fiendish Ways to Leave Your Lover

 

 

                                                                 

                                                                      “Macabre and raucous, tempered with the outré, the grotesque, and the hilarious,

                                                                        Mannetti and Chadbourne have commingled their unique skills to produce an

                                                                        unforgettable Gorey-esque wonderworld that continues to fascinate no matter

                                                                        how often you delve into it.  It’s the genre’s ultimate coffee-table tome as well

                                                                        as a wicked showcase of dark entertainment.”

                                                                           --Edward Lee, author of BLACK TRAIN and HEADER

                                                                                                                             

                                                                      “Deliciously macabre!  A must read for anyone who’s had a bad break-up

                                                                        and needs to resist the urge to boil a bunny!”

 

                                                                           --Hal Bodner, author of THE BITE CLUB

 

                                                                                                                             

                                                                      “What a marvelous blend of humor and horror, offering several ways

                                                                        to end a relationship that Paul Simon never thought of.”

 

                                                                          --Rick Hautala, author of  UNBROKEN and  THE WILDMAN

 

                                                                                                                             

                                                                     “Mannetti's latest reveals not only her acerbic wit, but her mordantly ebullient

                                                                       personality. This one is a keeper!”

                                                                           --Tom Monteleone, author of M.A.F.I.A. and SERPENTINE

                                                                                                                            

                                                                     “Do you like sick, bitter, twisted humor? Boy, have I got a book for you—

                                                                       51 Fiendish Ways to Leave Your Lover is hilariously frightful and frightfully hilarious!”

                                                                           --Robert Dunbar, author of MARTYRS & MONSTERS

                                                                         A 19th century half-gypsy horse trader, Imre, has been cursed with a hideously disfiguring 

                                                                                                 and fatal disease by the Romanian sorceress, Anyeta. On the verge of death, he must

                                                                                                 contend with his most hellish childhood memory--which he has sworn never to use—

                                                                                                 in order to save his wife and daughter. A presence even more terrifying to him than Anyeta:
