Out Now: Hunger Anthology From Urban Pigs Press

“The Hogg family like to trawl Torquay for wet-brains, street-drinkers, and illegal immigrants. Hopeless men with livid scar tissue in unpleasant places. They would search as far down as the Hope-and-Grope, past Factory Row, up to Castle Circus and the abandoned Jobcentre Plus building, and on into Torre.”

Today is the publication day for Hunger, a charity anthology released by Urban Pigs Press. The collection includes 23 short stories, one of which is my contribution: ‘In the Land of the Pig (The Butcher is King)’.

It’s a new and exclusive Joe Rey story, which finds your favourite anti-hero at rock bottom, sleeping in a decrepit caravan and performing menial tasks for the sadistic Hogg family.

The book – which has been edited by James Jenkins and Bam Barrow – is raising money for FIND (Families in Need), so if you have a few spare quid please consider buying a copy.

In case you missed it, I was interviewed about my contribution here.

And I returned the favour by interrogating James and Bam here.

Buy Hunger here: (UK) or (US)!
