Here’s the set-up:
Gary Jonas sold his first short story to Marion Zimmer Bradley for Sword and Sorceress VII.  Since then, he’s had stories published in various anthologies and magazines including Robert Bloch’s Psychos, Prom Night, It Came from the Drive-In, 100 Vicious Little Vampire Stories, Fantastic Fiction, Crime Spree, etc.  QUICK SHOTS collects the best of his short fiction in one place.
The book is divided up so you start with horror stories, then move into fantasy and finally close out the book with a selection of crime stories including his popular Hitman series.
Here are some of the other opening lines:
Whenever I doubt that I should be killing people, I take a job working with the public.
     —Death Threat for a Hitman (originally published in Fantastic Stories)
My date had been dead for two weeks when we arrived at the prom.
     —Omar’s One True Love (originally published in Prom Night edited by Nancy Springer)
Joe Crane roared into Onkawa, Oklahoma like a pissed-off demon bent on destruction.
     —The Blood on Satan’s Harley (originally published in It Came from the Drive-In edited by Norman Partridge)
Traffic pisses me off.
     —So You Wanna Be a Hitman (originally published in Robert Bloch’s Psychos edited by Robert Bloch)
My collection of bodies is getting too big for the basement.
     —Collector’s Fever (originally published in Horrors: 365 Scary Stories edited by Robert Weinberg et al)
An hour had passed since the robbery, but Larry could still feel the muzzle of the gun against his head.
     —Since I Had a Gun to My Head (one of the stories original to this collection and an incredibly intense tale)

THE GUN IS LOADED

Get ready to read an outstanding collection of 29 stories including some that appear here for the first time!

THE TARGET IS SET

If you love horror, suspense, fantasy or just plain fun, you’ve come to the right place.

TAKE AIM

“The Blood on Satan’s Harley” – a headless biker roams the highways of Oklahoma searching for victims.

“By Death Abused” – a paranormal investigator helps a boy deal with his dead, but still abusive father.

“In League” – a rock band’s music opens gateways to Hell.

“Single White Vampire” a lonely vampire seeks romance while trying to avoid her master’s goons, including an Elvis impersonator vampire.

“Maternal Instinct” – a young woman hears a voice whispering to her baby over her nursery monitor.

“Broken Spirits” – two damaged people track down the man who stole their souls.

“Since I Had a Gun to My Head” – a man deals with the intense after-effects of an armed robbery.

“So You Wanna Be a Hitman” – one hitman tale alone would be worth the price of admission, but you get five (count ‘em) tales about this politically incorrect killer. He has virtually no redeeming qualities, but you’re going to love him.

PULL THE TRIGGER

Why are you still reading this? Buy the book already. You know you want it. You know you need it. You know it will help you earn millions of dollars, make you look like a movie star and win the heart of your one true love. Some say it will also cure cancer and bring about world peace.

Of course, your mileage may vary.

But you’ll definitely find some Quick Shots of entertainment and that’s the next best thing.

QUICK SHOTS – a killer collection. Bet you can’t read just one.
