Last Meal In Osaka & Other Stories Gary Buller

Last Meal In Osaka & Other Stories by Gary Buller, containing: Swashbuckle Cove: Swashbuckle Cove is a closed-for-repair boat ride in a dying seaside resort. Harry Bootle and his brother climb aboard for one last ride, but little do they know what lies beneath the surface. Or how hungry it is. Last Meal in Osaka: Influential billionaire Curtis Makin, bored of the finer things in life, books a table at the secretive and exclusive restaurant 'Ouroboros.' Will the experience be as good as he hoped? Or will 'Ouroboros' claim its pound of flesh? Rise of the Chiggy-Pigs: "Don't touch, whatever you do," dad said. "If you do, you might just turn into one." They live at the bottom of the garden, in the cold damp, feasting silently on decay, but someone is about to disturb them...and learn a very important lesson. Writing about Last Meal In Osaka & Other Stories Gary Buller said: "We have three completely different protagonists in this collection, from the innocent all the way through to unexpectedly nasty. Unfortunately, it doesn't end very well for any of them... I had to dig deep [when writing the stories] recalling how I felt when similar experiences happened to me. I wouldn't say this was difficult, but it did bring back memories, not all of them pleasant." (with a cover by Adrian Baldwin)
