Welcome to Grueber’s, the brand new all night supermarket chain with a difference. For its unfortunate customers, the ordinary looking store could be the last trip they ever make—for its shelves are stacked with horrific delicacies made from human flesh, and the store boasts a Meat aisle that has to be seen to be believed, the unlikely group of unwitting shoppers must come together to not only survive, but to try to find a way to escape from the store, and the inhuman Staff who are keen for them to stay… forever.
Genre: FICTION / HorrorMeat was released in December 2013 and had steady initial sales. the book has over time sold close to 2,000 copies and is a firm fan favourite amongst my readers.
IT WAS A FOOT. A human foot. Garrett wasn’t sure quite how to react, and looked up and down the length of the supermarket walkway before turning his attention back to the appendage in the freezer. At first, he thought it was a prank – perhaps the next great TV show idea designed to fool the unwitting public- and yet he knew it wasn’t. The foot in the freezer didn’t look like a prop. It wasn’t made of rubber. There were too many details. Ghostly veins were visible just under the skin, and the underside of the toes were cracked and well worn. The full magnitude of the situation hit home, and as if to prove to himself it wasn’t a case of his imagination getting out of hand, he deliberately looked away, focusing his attention on his shoes, allowing his mind to empty and see clearly. He knew how perception could easily fool the brain into seeing things which weren’t real, and he was sure this was exactly that. He turned his gaze back to the freezer, his stomach plummeting to his shoes as he saw how his initial reaction seemed to have been- as impossible as it seemed – correct. The foot was nestled between the vast array of chickens and chunky cuts of beef and housed in a plastic tray on a bed of lettuce. The entire shrink-w-rapped appendage had been cut off below the ankle, and the fleshy underside seasoned with pepper. The sandwich he had eaten for lunch quivered a little in his stomach when he realized the foot—as unfathomable as it seemed—was quite real. He leaned closer to examine the label on the front of the package.
