These two stories take unconventional positions within short story archetypes. 'The Tourist Butcher' is a grimly comic tale about a serial killer who prepares his victims for a culinary dish, while 'Memories in Tin Foil' follows the nightmares and existential crises of a psychology student who receives a slice of human brain as a gift from a biologist roommate. Both demonstrate dark or horrifying underworlds in which the reader’s mind might get lost. JAMAL OUARIACHI has written four novels and a collection of short stories. He won the European Union Prize for Literature and the BNG Bank Literature Prize for his fourth novel A Hunger (2015). He grew up in a ‘typically Dutch multicultural family’ and studied Psychology at the University of Amsterdam. SCOTT EMBLEN-JARRETT graduated from UCL in 2015 in Dutch and Spanish. He held a residency at the Translators House in Amsterdam, translating the work of Radna Fabias. His first full length translation work, Jules Deelder's poetry collection Transeuropa, was published in 2019
