Dead Pig Collector by British author Warren Ellis is a horror genre short story with a Gothic feel. What I noticed immediately is a an undertone of rage, a male point of view and a bitter lyrical quality. The Protagonist, Mister Sun, really turns out to be the Antagonist who has a job to do. Unfortunately Amanda, being the stereotypical female, doesn't realize her dire predicament. Mister Sun does his job going through the motions of body disposing with chilling detail. It's grim, grotesque and has an unhappy twist ending for any Horror lover. If you're looking for fairies and glitterdust, this isn't for you. This one is a bit of a cheat to count as a "book", because it was a Kindle Single, but hey I read it, and its my list so I'm going to count it. I have several of Ellis' books in my WL, but this was the first of his that I read.It is a "day in the life" of a contract hit man story and is certainly not for the faint of heart. He is very precise in his tasks, perhaps to the point of OCD, but then if you are a person paid to kill other people perhaps its not surprising that you might have other mental issues.A decent quick read that is a quick dip into a perhaps larger world that Ellis is planning on revealing in the future.S: 12/28/13 - F: 1/2/13 (6 days)

Classic Ellis. Brutal, dark, funny and sad at the same time.
