Miscellaneous notes from the author
Style:
One-act dark comedy with a dry wit and plenty of murder served up. Somewhere between satire and folk horror. Contains language that may be less palatable than the murder.
Synopsis:
The village of Gallows Bottom is cut off by a flood and the only place to eat is Monica's Pastie Palace, where outsiders Jack and Mona encounter some very strange locals. Jack comments that this is a good place for a murder, and he turns out to be correct.
