Greetings, my wicked darlings!
Ah, cannibalism, or as it’s otherwise known, long pork. I’ve done a few cannibalism stories before, notably in Tales of the Macabre, Vol. 1 (The Grimsdyke Ghouls and The Ghouls of New Bangalore). I clearly had a cannibalism bee in my bonnet back then, but I got through TotM 2–4 without the sweet taste of human flesh. Is that personal growth? If so, I’ve absolutely ruined it with my free short story Buried!
I blame Ash Ericmore for this one. His truly phenomenal Summer of Sin collection had two standout pieces: Pride and Gluttony. Both of them combined humour with gross-out violence. Gluttony was the cannibalism story that reignited my love of the trope. I recommend everyone reads his collection, and while we are at it, how good is that cover? I should also mention that Ash is an excellent cover artist.
Are you feeling hungry yet?
I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it!
Sweet screams,
Newt xx
