Digest Vol. 2

After the wild success of Digest: Ten 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.

Amber Rich, heiress to Rich Products, presents "Women: The Return," a world where men hate women so much they kill all of them. Now, they face the consequences.

Chef Neil, head of Tattoo Chef gourmet catering, delivers "A Bug's Life (Under Your Skin)," about a colony of roaches fighting against the elements beneath their host's flesh.

Majority Leader Corey, State Senator for New York and former mayor of Rochester, offers "Quo Imus," where a pair of truckers rescue a church of Satanists from hyper-pious, dystopian South Carolina.

Celebrity dentist Dr. Fugierman 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 shape-shifters.

Lowly Whitman, Professor of Comparative Literature, debuts "Unga Cowabunga," a genre-bending romance about a surfing caveman.

Adjutant General Lance Shaeffer contributes "Jackalope Princess," basically Game of Thrones but everyone's a rabbit.

Bill Bushskulle, Esq. offers "Skiv," which is serial killers going by werewolf rules.

Victoria Langford‑Rich, property czar of Langford Holdings, brings us "Wilted Flowers," a surreal world where guns can get ED.

Archbishop Fitzgerald, Episcopal Digital Outreach Initiative, contributes "Head" in which a DJ uses the severed head of a cherubim to improve his beats.

Finally, renowned journalist Rewan Vitme presents "The Leftist," an alternate reality in which all of humanity is born with two right hands...

until one child upends the order.
