Produktbeschreibung

The fleshfish industry continues its steady, perpetual growth. The depletion of mermaid numbers serves only to push prices higher and higher, and the youth-giving properties of fleshfish means those who can afford it are willing to pay for it. But Tom Swasey, the CEO of the food company Purh, has a problem: Without a male, the industry has no way of reversing the threat of extinction. The industry is steadily destroying itself. Worse still, there have been no confirmed sightings of a male. But Tom is willing to do whatever it takes to get one.

However, there are those who want an end to the fleshfish industry; of the torture and abuse that comes with it; and activists work to bring the industry down.

Tom's wife, Pallas, is a youthful ninety-year-old holding shares in many profitable industries. She is a powerful, ruthless woman, but when she accidentally witnesses the torture of two mermaids at the hands of the abattoir staff, something unlocks in her psyche, and she finds herself questioning her allegiances.

Between Fish and Flesh is a dark tale set in the extreme heat of a dying, synehitopian world where corporations cling to profit and market dominance, and humanity steadily loses it's mind. An occasionally violent novel, containing torture and abuse.

Autorenporträt

Lydia is an online apparition who frequents the Fediverse and you can follow her there (currently) at: @[e-mail]. She is just some nobody with an art school background, who lives in London, writes stories in her spare time, owns a cat and loves noisy, avant-garde music.

Lydia often writes futurist worlds, which she describes as Synehitopian that is, a continuation of our current political and technological landscape rather than a strictly dystopian future. Her stories explore manipulation, control and power dynamics, and people's willingness to succumb to the rule of corporate hegemony.
