To Serve Man Illustration
Pornokitsch’s ‘To Serve Man’ by Damon Knight is always a most amusing tale… whether you’re sitting down for a little read or watching The Twilight Zone episode. The illustration is to go with Pornokitsch’s selection of this very tale as their free weekly read and you can get stuck into the full story over Kitsch HQ!The Kanamit were not very pretty, it’s true. They looked something like pigs and something like people, and that is not an attractive combination. Seeing them for the first time shocked you; that was their handicap. When a thing with the countenance of a fiend comes from the stars and offers a gift, you are disinclined to accept.
I don’t know what we expected interstellar visitors to look like – those who thought about it at all, that is. Angels, perhaps, or something too alien to be really awful. Maybe that’s why we were all so horrified and repelled when they landed in their great ships and we saw what they really were like.
