It’s always a buzz getting a story accepted, especially after submitting it to so many outlets without success. In hindsight, I can’t believe it took me so long to consider sending a story centred on food to a Food magazine that also published fiction. A lesson learned.

The Tiger is no ordinary chef.

Night after night he circles the city – in complete anonymity – cooking extraordinary meals but leaving death in his wake. Could he be a modern day Flying Dutchman, cursed after committing some culinary crime? Or has he made some Faustian pact in order to achieve gastronomic greatness?

Many are eager to track the Tiger down, desperate to sample his extraordinary cooking, even if it means risking their lives.

Tiger, Tiger has now been published in Volume 5, Issue 2 of the Amaranth Journal, and is available to read (free of charge!) here.
