Peeps takes movie reviewing to new heights of viciousness. On this prime-time TV show, two caustic critics look at the hits and misses among the new movies, trading wits, insults - even punches. But even a series with high riatings like Peeps can stare at cancellation - not by the networks, but by murder. Because Dunphy has just been found with a knife in his back in the dressing room of Tobin, his co-host and sparring partner. The cops' script says Tobin - who'd secretly shared the affections of Dunphy's wife and brawled on air with Dunphy the night before - has the motivation for the part of star suspect.

This is the very first collection of short stories written by author David Niall Wilson. It was originally published as a signed, limited edition trade paperback in 1995.

The cover is by the late and sorely missed Augie Wiedeman and the interior illustrations are by Michael Grilla.

Excellent
His stories are always enjoyable to listen or read, . Having just a few minutes these are great. Given audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion enjoyed the narration good clear voice added to these.
