“If I ever hear a f*****g Eminem track again, I swear to God I'm going to blow this f*****g gym up. And I'm not talking about that long-haired dude with a beard up there in the skies. It's not like that. At all.”

Cosmic horror meets gym culture in this darkly funny short story, where we follow a young gym rat through his diary entries as he delves into a new underground anabolic steroid that unlocks the door to an insane pump, crazy gains – and something far more sinister.

"You Are What Eats You" is Chris Burton's debut short story.
