Evan B Witmer: Digest Vol. 2, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

After the wild success of Digest: 10 Short Stories by Convicted & Plausible People-Eaters, I swore I'd never write anything so graphically disturbing or controversial again. But as this country insists on repeating its mistakes, I suppose I should too.

My previous collection, a dark fantasia on cannibalism, was pure fiction-or so I thought. For many readers, reality and imagination bled together. They began to reach out, sharing intimate, often chilling confessions. Stories of cannibalistic lovers, clients they represented, or even their own cannibalistic desires, past and future.

By my own misstep, I've been drawn into the clandestine circle of cannibal elites who claim to operate at every level of power in this country. Many of which also happen to be skilled writers. Here, then, are the literary pieces they've entrusted to me for Volume 2.

Anita Smith, heiress to Rich Products, presents "Women: The Return," a world where men have eliminated every woman, and now must face the consequences.

George Horsail, Atlantic contributor and PBS NewsHour regular, offers "Head," the story of a New Jersey DJ improving his mixes with a new tool: the severed head of a cherubim.

Chef Yaanga White, head of Old Coast Gourmet, delivers "A Bug's Life (Under Your Skin)," about a colony of roaches fighting against the elements beneath their host's flesh.

General Lance Shaeffer contributes "Quo Imus," where a pair of truckers rescue a church of Satanists from the hyper-pious dystopian South Carolina.

Former Secretary of State Jane Corey debuts "Unga Cowabunga," a genre-bending romance where a young caveman, obsessed with surfing, begins to question his bond with his modern-day roommate and the tides of time itself.

Clickbait journalist Ee Miller offers "I Touched My First Ovipositor at Tudor's Biscuit World," the tale of the daughter of the Mothman falling in love during her shift at a fast food restaurant.

Michael Kael, a GMO lobbyist, contributes "The Leftist," a sly alternate reality in which humanity is born with two right hands... until one child upends the order.

Eli Warden, founder of Grand Connections mental health charity, brings us "Wilted Flowers," a surreal short story about a mysterious inorganic disease that spreads through firearms, leaving them lifeless and inert.

Father Santiago DeLuca offers "The Man from Marten," a flash fiction story following a metamorphic superhero as he confides his deepest, darkest fears to a therapist who specializes in shapeshifters.

Finally, President X presents "SKIV," which details a man surviving an attack from a serial killer only to find himself slowly transforming into a serial killer

himself.
