It happens in a split-second. One moment, customers are happily shopping in the Save-A-Lot supermarket. The next instant, they are transformed into bloodthirsty psychotics, interested only in slaughtering one another and gleefully committing unimaginable atrocities and frenzied acts of violent depravity.

Only Jack, Sammi, Angie, and Marcel seem immune to the madness that has infected the rest of the town. But can they stay alive long enough -- and trust each other long enough -- to unravel the secret of Jack's Magic Beans?

Manhattan On Mars Press presents a new edition of one of Brian Keene's most popular early novellas, sure to appeal to fans of The Complex and The Rising.
