A single mother struggles to bond with her apathetic child; born with an insatiable and increasingly inhumane appetite.

Jim is a lonely septuagenarian who has been to too many funerals and said goodbye to too many friends. Struggling and aimless, he begins to conceal his ailing well-being from his doting wife, finding solace watching a local grassroots football team. Jim’s levels of fandom start to border on obsession as his wife begins to question his strange behaviour...

The beekeeper who accidentally kills his wife before nervously burying her body under his vegetable patch, the child born with an insatiable and increasingly inhuman appetite, the seemingly harmless couple who are serial killers, and the home-alone woman who is petrified someone is out to kill her. These terrifying tales come together in one anthology.
