Everyone's eating human meat. Would you? The shocking, darkly gripping dystopian novel in which cannibalism is legal.
It all happened so quickly. First, animals became infected with the virus and their meat became poisonous. Then, governments initiated the Transition. Now, 'special meat' – human meat – is legal.
Marcos is in the business of slaughtering humans, only no one calls them that. He works with numbers, consignments, processing. One day, he's given a gift to seal a deal: a specimen of the finest quality. He leaves her in his barn, tied up, a problem to be disposed of later.
But the specimen haunts Marcos. Her trembling body, her eyes that watch him, that seem to understand. And soon, he becomes tortured by what has been lost – and what might still be saved ...
'There's nothing described that isn't done to livestock ... grimly engrossing, with a sucker-punch ending. And it may well put you off that bacon sandwich.'
The Times
'Sitting comfortably? Not after even the tiniest nibble of this gut-churning, brilliantly realised novel.'
