Everytime I read Thomas Harris' books I always forget it's horror and not a cute romance. This one reminded me more than I expected. Even if it was really slow at the beginning it was worth to read it in the end!

This book has everything: misogyny, homophobia, racism, transphobia, breastfeeding a grown man, definitely getting kuru from eating human brains, murder by eel, the line "let's swap body fluids, bitch!".
