Two of my pieces - Spangles and Pustula Peculiar appear in 'June'. You can read excerpts below.
I've had a sneaky peek at some of the other stories in the collection - and ooh - are you in for some delicious treats from some excellent writers.
You can buy Daily Bites of Flesh direct from the Pill Hill shop for $22.49. Or if you can bear to wait, it will soon be available on Amazon (UK and US) and at Barnes & Noble.
Many thanks to Jessy Marie Roberts for her astonishing work in compiling and editing this anthology.
Excerpts:
Spangles
They found sequins in my knickers. The silver disks filled my crevices, finding their way into folds of flesh where they cut and sliced me raw. The question the cops asked themselves – did a killer place them there, or did I?
Hudson swore as his boss gave him the best job of all; standing between my legs to catch the corpse as they cut me down. The wind was ferocious. My body swung in circles from a creaking oak, a pendulum. Hudson danced like a girl, trying to avoid the spillages splattered over the forest floor beneath me. Evacuation - the elegance of death.
Pustula Peculiar
Ginger limped sideways to reach for another bottle. Taking a swig he gazed at the dancing dead.
“More,” the woman called from her shackles. “I need more”.
She widened her mouth to accept the Absinthe. The excess ran in rivulets down her neck raising the skin in blistering welts. Labella took the full mouthful into her throat in a single, rasping gulp.
The men looked on. No more smiles, just pant-pissing terror as the drumming began to slow.
“Quickly,” they begged. “Do it now.”
