Mr. Stechschulte makes his Fantagraphical debut with this 64 page graphic novella.  Originally hailing from rural Pennsylvania, Conor found his way to the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) after which he became a part of the Closed Caption Comics team.  In The Amateurs, he has penned and inked a strange tale of unusual goings on at a rural (Amish?) butcher shop.  Filled with animals alive and dead, humans in their right mind and wrong, blood is spilled and things go south.
