Corpse Honey

"Out of the eater came something to eat; out of the strong, came something sweet."

What is 'corpse honey,' you ask? Is it something bitter or is it something sweet?

Well, it is honey, after all, so let's assume it's sweet -- so sweet in fact, that everything you eat afterwards tastes like ashes.

No? Then it must be bitter. So bitter that it leaves your tongue blistered and festering.

Perhaps it's both bitter and sweet. Maybe it tickles the inside of your skull -- like your head has been filled with bees. Some are there to make honey, some are there just to sting you... over and over.

One thing is for certain: corpse honey is not for the squeamish. After all, even the sweetest honey is "loathsome in his own deliciousness..."

Corpse Honey is a collection of twelve gruesome tales, drawing inspiration from the natural world, folklore and fever dreams. Within these pages, you will find the lesser-known horrors that lurk in the shadows of our world: the possessed, the cursed and the afflicted -- and worst of all, the monsters with the all-too-human faces.
