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.
