​Short horror Stories: 
​4 twisted tales 

Claimed Baggage Short Horror Stories: 4 Twisted Tales is an updated version of the 2017 Claimed Baggage Short Stories. New and improved. Some texted tossed. Some text added, mostly to explore an important moment that the previous version glossed over.  Minor errors fixed. The book cover and interior titles are new.  The higher price is primarily due to purchasing extended licensing for stock images.

AUG 1991:  The Perfectly Wonderful WONDERFOOT

Image: Perfectly Wonderful WonderFoot story by Robin Grossman
I've been doing taxes and organizing because...Omg, why is all this stuff here and when did THAT happen?  Yeah. So, it's like that and in trying to find my way out of the clutter, I found a horror story I wrote back in the day: August 1991. It still makes me laugh because I'm old and rotting,  AND the story still hits my wonderfully perfect funny bone.

I'm pretty sure the magazine is long gone.  The only thing that turns up is a Fusion Magazine in El Paso. Nope, Fusion Creative Media Magazine was based in Edison, NJ.   Cover Art: Masks by Allen Bush. I don't know who to credit for the art that accompanies my story. 

​Read on. Please forgive the mistypes and misspellings. We wrote this on a stones with other smaller stones. One would lick the stone and the other bleed, but I digress...

"Lovin' the   
​RAzor   Burn  
It's   only   Flesh!"  
T-Shirt 


This nightmarish horror art started as a charcoal and white conte crayon sketch on a tan recycled paper. Digital layering, masks, and filters created a faux raw flesh effect on the profile of a mustached Frankenstein-type head held together by large stitches that will unsettle all fans of splatter horror, zombie horror, and classic monster movies. "Loving that RAZOR BURN" and "It's ONLY FLESH!" text in dramatic B-horror movie text offers a macabre take on everyday shaving as well as give a unique scare for those with Xyrophobia -- the fear of being cut by a razor. But an up-close look will reveal a harmless, even charming design that will make all those fears vanish.

Claimed Baggage is a collection of 4 horror tales about baggage claimed by supernatural dark forces and evil intentions. Roughly 141 pages. 


“Antwon Webb and the Grave Suitcase” is a tale about a homeless vet, who finds a dumped suitcase in the trash that forces him on a journey to avenge a young girl.


“The Gift Bag” is about a middle aged woman with a mortgage, debt, and kids, who steals a strange suitcase after she sees her wealthy best friend use it to turn a cheap necklace into priceless jewelry.


“Future Baggage” is about a couple, who teleport to their new home base on an airless planet and a seemingly broken teleporter delivers an endless stream of baggage that will crush them.


In “The Baggage Carousel Thief,” a thief steals a possessed suitcase from the airport and is taken on a mind-bending, gender-bending, time-bending journey to finish a vengeful spirit’s slaughter as a door to door sales girl.


Excerpt  from “The Baggage Carousel Thief”

​“My fingerprints my fingerprints my fuckin’ fingerprints are fuckin’ everywhere. 

     He eyes his innocent pink hand under the clear baggies with their questionable contents. He drops the baggies like a hot plate and heads to his kitchen. He grumbles and curses with each step. He returns with a dusty Clorox sprayer and stained red oven mitts. He bought the Clorox sprayer years ago, but this is the first time he’s using it. HEAVY DUTY says the label. 

       It better fuckin’ be. 

      He struggles with the little twist box at the spout. He turns it to spray and pumps and pumps. It finally spritzes. He douses the baggies on the floor and grabs them, hoping not to identify their contents. He tosses a pile of baggies back to the suitcase. Pitching four two-handed tosses until all the baggies are in the suitcase. He spritzes the suitcase for good measure and closes the lid. He gets a flash of pink across his vision; he ignores it as he fumbles for the suitcase’s zipper with his oven mitts. And then he hears something in the den.”


This is the first volume of Claimed Baggage Short Stories. There are more books planned and in progress. ​
