Meat

My short psychological thriller, Meat, is out soon.

Lily is an artist about to stage her first solo show in her husband, Lar’s gallery. Determined to make it a success, she decides to create living Memento mori sculptures featuring her husband’s lab-grown meat. But as the opening of the show is almost upon them, Lily will discover the consequences of her decision, and the dark secrets her husband has been keeping from her.

Meat will be published in The Monster, Capital: Tales of Unease for our Times, by Comma Press, in April 2026 and is available to pre-order here.

If you’d like to hear more about the meat in Meat here’s a short clip where I’m talking about the world’s most ethical meat…which may be the most horrifying…
