New special edition with a new afterword by the author of this shocking dystopian novel and TikTok sensation in which cannibalism is legal

If everyone was eating human meat, would you?

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 specimen of the finest quality. He leaves her tied up in an outhouse, a problem to be disposed of later. But she haunts Marcos. Her trembling body, and watchful gaze, seem to understand. And soon, he becomes tortured by what has been lost - and what might still be saved...

READER REVIEWS
