'An instant classic' - The Guardian
Ive never eaten a person but today I might . . .
A queer and dangerously hungry mountain lion lives in the drought-devastated land under the Hollywood sign, overlooking the city that humans call ellay.
Lonely and fascinated by humanitys foibles, the lion spends their days grappling with the complexities of their own identity, and ultimately the question: Do they want to eat a person, or become one?
'A bloody masterpiece.' - Melissa Broder, author of The Pisces
