An unnerving, Gormenghast-esque tale of sinister domesticity and dark glamour. Dedric works as a cook in the king’s kitchens, content to be surrounded by friends and comfortable with his place in the world. While helping prepare a feast for the king’s return, the familiar routine of his work is broken, triggering a chain of events which cause Dedric to feel his certainties begin to fade.
Low-key and subtly disturbing, this swaps the battlefield for the kitchen and quietly, creepily explores the darkness within apparently everyday life. Gray uses vivid, evocative imagery to take something which should be familiar and comfortable and turn it into a genuinely unsettling space, with sights and activities taking on greater resonance as the story continues.
