Pressed

Pressed first appeared in Robertson's debut solo short story collection, InhuMANities, and has been described as "the collection's tour de force" by Rue Morgue magazine.

"Iggy turns away from the counter and looks around as if he will find something on the Shack's floor displays that he hasn't seen before. His blue balls are kicking in. Shelf after tall black wire shelf stand in aisles under the very specific spotlights that help customers read the titles, with every type of perversion available on DVD, Blu-ray, VHS. O-faces as far as he could see under categories like MILFs, Barely 18, Gay, Trans Dolls, Gangbang, Bukkake, but for all the variety, he suffers from such a specific predilection that he is at risk of becoming an antique hunter."Iggy is a spectacularly rich man with very particular tastes, but he's grown tired of satisfying them in his usual manner. He turns to Chester, the peculiar proprietor of The Porn Shack, to find new ways to indulge his appetites without concern for what that could mean for the women enlisted to satiate his growing and increasingly urgent desires.

Reviewers have described Pressed as transgressive, sick, tortuously unsettling and painfully topical. Available for the first time as a standalone novella, this edition is illustrated by Jubal Brown, a Toronto-based writer, producer and presenter of contemporary art and events culture

"Creepy, unsettling, gross, and seeping dread from its pages."

-Bergamot Book Reviews

"Transgressive, unflinching, and peppered with humor as black as night...body-horror at its most extreme and exhilarating"

- Peter Atkins, Screenwriter, Hellbound: Hellraiser II, Author of Morningstar
