Synopsis

Abyrne is a decaying town, trapped by an advancing wilderness. Its people depend on meat for their survival, meat supplied by the processing plant on the edge of town. Meat is sanctified in Abyrne, a precious commodity eaten with devout solemnity by everyone except for a handful of people who won't, who suspect that the town is evil, rotten to its core. A feud smoulders between the town's religious and secular powers - whoever controls the meat supply controls everything, But the townsfolk are hungry, they must be fed... They must be fed.
