This is my first Hailey Piper book, definitely not the last. It is a fulfilling book and an example of how novellas ought to be done. Many novellas are only hints at a greater story that doesn't feel like being told, but Cannibal King knows it only has a little over 100 pages (or 3 hours) and it Uses Them. Piper makes me want more, but also tells me why it's impossible. If it did go on, it would be less.

This has everything you’d expect from a book called “Benny Rose the Cannibal King.” It’s a little gross, a little spooky, a little silly, a little nostalgic. Five stars.
