Instructions For How To Murder Your Wife and Other People—A Horror Novel

“I like it when H.L. Osterman dips his pen into the black ink of horror. This one is both creepy and light-hearted and fun to read.”
-Byron Rupert McCafferty

How do you murder your wife when she refuses to die? As we learn here, try and try again. You’re probably just not doing it right. Here you will meet an unreliable narrator who can’t figure out what’s going on in this keep-you-guessing horror thriller.

Howard Lowell Osterman collected a few rejection slips from popular magazines before deciding he preferred the steady salary of a staff writing position with a newspaper. That led to other “writing gigs” with magazines and book publishers. “A good living,” Osterman tells it. “But in my spare time I kept cranking out sensational novels and short stories. My dirty little secret, I call them, usually working under pseudonyms to avoid conflicts with employers looking for a pound of flesh.” He has lived in New York, Chicago, and Daytona. He enjoys watching old film noir movies. He hopes one day to write a screenplay.
