After a successful first issue, punk horror anthology The Grime returns for another instalment, featuring works from familiar names as well as a few new ones.
First off is another outing for The Nihilist, a mysterious figure who seems to have a penchant for stalking those who prey on anyone weaker than themselves. As he sets his sights on a group of fox hunters brought down by their plutocratic arrogance as much as the trap laden forest that awaits them, you’re torn between wanting to know more about him, while being aware that to truly learn anything would likely shatter his sinister mystique.
Without using the name directly, The Crimson Poker reworks how the expository climax of a Miss Marple tale would probably play out in reality, and is a far cry from the genteel manners of rural England with which readers of Agatha Christie’s mysteries will be more familiar.
