{"product_id":"fit-for-consumption-steve-berman-9781590212257","title":"Fit for Consumption","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Berman's latest short story collection, the phrase \"you are what you eat\" is taken to heart; these are stories of men facing strange appetites within their own physicality, within a lover or, perhaps, a stranger's hungers. A young athlete attends an exclusive wrestling camp, but some of the campers are more focused on the unwelcome boys they claim lurk inside their bellies. A fixit man on a mission to retrieve a runaway finds himself forced into impersonating a pulp hero by her captor. Life as a pledge at a New Orleans fraternity is made all the worse when a magical--perhaps cursed?--flask that fills with whatever the bearer desires, yet also causes the drinker to desire the pledge. With stories inspired by Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, and Ramsey Campbell, the menu has thirteen tales that range from the weird to the \u003cem\u003ehumour noir \u003c\/em\u003eto\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003ethe monstrous.
