First story was strange, second was predictable. Both were both overly descriptive in their "gore".

What do you get when you mix a slice of human brain, a questionable steak and superb writing?

A chapbook from Strangers Press, that’s what!

If you’re ok reading about cannibalism and the dissection of various body parts and the thought processes behind thought processes (yeah, it’s a weird one!) then this is just the ticket!

Originally written in Dutch and translated into English, The Tourist Butcher and Memories In Tinfoil are both dark, short and not at all sweet. Pretty grotesque actually, why do I even read this kind of stuff?!

Anyway, brilliant writing. Highly recommended for the non-squeamish literary horror reader.
