Sow: The Three Beast of Brunlea

By Liam Davies

In Brunlea, an old relic village of the industrial revolution in the north of England, two desperate people confront a hidden evil that has plagued the town for centuries. On the Anniversary of his wife's death, Stephen is working the nightshift at the Brunlea slaughterhouse. When he hears an insidious voice calling from the shadowy corners of the carcass-filled cold store, he flees. Colliding with a pig, Stephen is knocked unconscious. And when he awakes, everything changes. Torn between reality and his fragmented recollections of what happened in the slaughterhouse that night, Stephen is haunted by terrifying visitations from an un-dead sow carcass. As his life spirals downward around him, Stephen makes a horrifying discovery about his town. The pigs control everybody. Blue is an obsessive-compulsive, socially-awkward factory worker who has lost his will to live. When Blue wakes on the morning he plans to kill himself and discovers that he has been blessed with telepathy and telekinesis, his life changes dramatically. As Blue learns to cope with his newfound powers, he finds that he is drawn to the local slaughterhouse. There, he learns of the evil force lurking among rows of slaughtered pigs. When his boss and rival, Mako, inherits the same powers, Blue must ban with Stephen to prepare for a violent, destructive showdown. SOW & The Three Beasts of Brunlea is a brutal and startlingly original exploration of small town apathy and social decay.
