Featured Creature: MAN-EATING VENUS-FLY-TRAPS!

Hello there.
Hi.
I'm Max. [Specimen 278]
I think I'm Specimen 313.
Glad to meet you...

...

Had you ever eaten a human before?
Not whole.
So never live ones?
Oh, I've eaten them alive. The doctor removed somebody's arms and legs and fed me his torso.
Nice.
He screamed a lot.
That's understandable.

Taken from the upcoming monster's-point-of-view-only horror anthology The Monster's Corner as a sort of preview, readers can get this Strand-infused eBook for FREE on both their NOOK and Kindle! While the reader can read the story in the physical book come September 27, the stand-alone story is an excellent taste of what's to come. Like the author himself, the tale is both strange, horrifying, and humorous. It tells the story of Max (#218) and Jenny (#313), two man-eating Venus Fly Traps. Complete with the usual crazed mad scientist, Strand takes us for a ride as we see the two plants bond. (Yes, bond). Somehow Strand (Dweller, Pressure) keeps the story grounded, providing both heart and laughs. It's a winner, and if it's any indication of how good The Monster's Corner will be, it's a darn good sign.
