Grim (Editor's Note)

Overall (3.5 out of 5)
Prose (Writing) (4 out of 5)
Plot (The Story) (3 out of 5)
One of the blunter short-shorts from Kill that during a first read may be vanquished as mediocre in contrast to the author’s extreme classics, but this one has a way of bugging your brain. Simple, yet effective as being memorable and, like all Kill fiction, is layered like a well-ripened onion.

Patrick Kill
Patrick Kill specializes in writing the most absurd, iconoclastic humorous dark fiction around. At 6’1’’, he is the tallest midget on earth. He is a competitive eater…of children. He prefers footie pajamas with someone else’s feet in them. He fishes for dead bodies in drainage ditches during the day and traps for yeti at night. He is the most ridiculous man in the world. His favorite saying is: “I don’t always eat humans, but when I do, it’s dos Mexicanos. Stay evil, my friends.”
