About this listen

You are what you eat.

Reclusive chef Heinrich Schauer has invited six guests to a blind 12-course tasting menu.

While snow blankets the isolated Swiss valley surrounding his estate, the guests feast eagerly, challenging one another to guess at the secret tastes plated before them.

This meat is murder.

As they eat, each guest is overtaken by carnal appetites, unaware of their host's savage plan - or of the creature lurking below.

One thing is clear - there is more on the menu than any of them have bargained for.

Consumption is a 12,000 word (approx.) short story. It contains graphic depictions of sex and violence, and is intended for mature audiences.

Internationally revered chef, Heinrich Shaumer, sends six invitations to individuals unknown to each other but who have individually previously attended his multi course blind tastings. All of the passionate folder invitees attend and, as the courses progress, try to determine the ingredients whist, at the same time, other passions rise inside them

A Lovecraftian type horror, visual, visceral and relatively revolting. Further consideration of the reasoning behind the meal would have benefited this short story, but for general gore there's enough to go around. Not this reader's preferred genre but with Joe Hempel as narrator, unmissable.
I was fortunate in being able to freely download a complimentary copy from FABC: my thanks to the rights holder for making it available to anyone requesting a copy. If horror and gore with a brief session of brutal bloodied sex is your preferred reading, get this book now.
