His new story collection,&amp;nbsp;Essays and Fictions, is available from Tyrant Books.  The late Anthony Bourdain calls it: &quot;Searingly honest, brilliant and disturbing. [Phillips] peels back the skin and bone and stares right into the human soul.&quot;&amp;nbsp;  Born in 1974, Phillips is also an accomplished visual artist&amp;nbsp; known for dark work that engages with themes of eroticism, depression, and mortality. His paintings display stylistic breadth, from text-based to photorealist, referring in many cases directly to his daily life. He lives in Toronto.
