DEAD PIG COLLECTOR is classic Warren Ellis, the digitial-only, short story debut of a new character soon to become a classic in the oeuvre of a writer praised by the New York Times Book Review as "a seriously good writer with a seriously wicked imagination." As far as Mr. Sun is concerned, the heart is just a pump. It's an anatomical fact he knows quite intimately, and a key component of the knowledge base essential to his particularly devious line of work: murder for hire and body disposal. Certain jobs, however, make it hard to keep this in mind. Like the one that's brought him from cold, dreary London to sun-soaked Los Angeles, and connects Mr. Sun with a beautiful and perpetually curious woman who has to know everything about Mr. Sun's methods—despite having been his original target.
