Book Description:
Unemployed, divorced, and living in a new state, Hunt Jackson would be considered a risk by most insurance companies. Lucky for him, he's found one that will give him a policy. All he has to do is sign on the dotted line-and note a minor provision: they require a pound of flesh for their investment. No backing out. No joke. No running away.

One of my favorites by Little as it almost seems that something like this could happen to you. Not an every day concern of course, but it's not that far fetched of an idea as you're reading the book. Good creepy plot!

Another great story by Bentley Little. If you aren't real fond of Insurance Company's in general you'll like this story. Just be glad Insurance Companys don't really have this kind of power!

Just sign on the dotted line, Hunt Jackson at the end of his rope figured this policy for a good deal. Until the insurance company starts to abuse him over the phone, vandalizes your home and authorize treatment to isolated hospital.. One more thing if they require a pound of flesh for our investment don't bother to run it's just the POLICY...

Unemployed, divorced, and living in a new state, Hunt Jackson would be considered a resk by most insurance companies. Lucky for him, he's found one that will take him. All he has to do is sign on the dotted line--and note the minor provisions:
If we abuse you over the phone, don't hang up.
If we vandalize your home, don't get mad.
If we authorize treatment at an isolated hospital that's
strangely empty, don't get scared.

One more thing:
If we require a pound of flesh for our investment, don't bother
running. It's just....The Policy

Another scary one from Little about life insurance policies that are horribly evil!

he is a little scarey, somtimes i think scarier than stephen king.
most of his books takes place in arizona. i dont like reading by myself when home alone at night. about people selling insurance policies. beware you were warned, these people can be very pushy.

I really enjoyed this book. The story starts off a little slow, but then picks up for a fun ride into horror/fantasy

This is the only one I have ever read of Mr. Little's books, so I'm not sure how it compares to others. He writes a little like Dean Koontz, I suppose. Too wordy, and the characters are lurching stereotypes, for the most part. But it passed a day where I didn't really want to do too much thinking about other stuff. And it has demonic monsters posing as insurance sales people. So that's a plus.

Bentley Little's novels are freaky, and this book is no exception. Makes you want to read your own insurance policy manual more carefully!
