Behind the Zion Curtain — Johnny Townsend

In these Mormon short stories, a teenage boy, worried about the future of the planet, prays for God to send a devastating plague on humans. A polygamist endures a miserable wedding night with his multiple wives. A government assassin tries to incorporate Blood Atonement into his work. A youth outing reenacting the Mormon Handcart trek goes terribly wrong. A zealous restaurant worker devises a horrifying plan to force customers to obey the Word of Wisdom.
