First Splatterpunk Short Story in the Grease, Grime & Gore collection.
Blackpool in winter — the rides are shut, the wind’s biting, and the only thing open is the chippy…
But tonight, the fryer’s sizzling up something no menu would dare print.
When a hungry punter stumbles in after last orders, they’re offered a “special” — battered, golden, and far too fresh. What starts as a hot meal to warm the bones becomes a nightmarish feast that’ll never leave their stomach… or their head.
A fast, filthy, and blood-soaked British short horror from Jack Hargrave, Chippy Tea blends seaside nostalgia with splatterpunk brutality. If you like your horror greasy, violent, and served with a side of salt and vinegar, tuck in… if you dare.

24 pages. To the point. Nice ending actually

A good idea that is poorly executed. There is quite a lot of repetition. Since this is a debut book, I would like to be encouraging and suggest that the author take time to revise it; with some work, the idea could turn into a great story.

A fun little spallterpunk short story that lacks any subtlety. Action packed and full of gory images, which I liked. When it comes to short stories I prefer to have some kind of surprise at the end though.

i enjoyed this! nice quick little read, looking forward to the rest of the series :)
just a small note, the writing seems to flick between present and past tense, but it’s a minor issue

Being from Blackpool, there were a couple of things that threw the story off to me.. HOWEVER, this short story has made me never want chippy again and I loved it 🤣
