    About this ebook

    When a monster stands in Death's kitchen, exactly what - or who - is on the menu?

    A criminal no longer able to fight death with his worn out fists turns to the only thing he has left: fading memories of good food.

    Juice in a Cluster of Grapes is an extremely strange short tale of Monstrous Magic.

    Author

    Daniel Eness

    Daniel Eness writes stories of strange adventure where the hero always wins, except those times when he dies spectacularly in an explosion. He lives in Iowa with his family of six, for whom he writes of the churning seascape of the soul, deep evil and the hope that has overcome them both. His work has appeared in Stupefying Stories, Ideomancer, Diagram and Brain Harvest Magazine, and, in 2012, Eortholic Press will release two novels, a novella and a collection of short adventures.
