Mayhem in Shotgun Honey

Killing is easy. . . but what do you do afterward? I’ve ventured into the world of crime with Where’d You Get That Ringtone?, new on Shotgun Honey. This three-minute read is free, but not for the squeamish.

Quotes by Gordon Grice (?)

“The custom among many human cultures of defending corpses against scavengers — by burying them, for example — probably has its roots in the need to keep predators from learning to take us as food.”
― Gordon Grice, The Book of Deadly Animals

“I particularly like the lice — this story, too, is false. In fact, though biting is a plausible means for a sperm whale to dispatch a man, the narrow gauge of its throat makes actually swallowing humans improbable.”
― Gordon Grice, The Book of Deadly Animals

“As any parrot owner will tell you, pet birds can give serious bites. The nut-cracking beak of the African gray parrot, for example, can sever fingers. In 1998, the Labour Party’s John Prescott, deputy prime minister of the United Kingdom, was engaged in a publicity event for environmental issues when a captive macaw, clearly a Tory, fetched him a bruising bite on the finger.”
― Gordon Grice, The Book of Deadly Animals
