raincorbyn's review against another edition
5.0
Full disclosure: I have the privilege and pleasure of narrating the upcoming audiobook for this collection, but my opinions are my own. If they are biased, they are so by influence of intimacy with a truly amazing collection.
Fit For Consumption is a collection of literary queer horror stories, centered mostly on men with appetites. Some appetites are taboo by type, or by degree. Others are agonizing near-misses, horror we can all relate to. But the quiet starvation gnaws at the reader, until, like the characters, we refuse to hunger any longer.
Steve Berman's prose is puckish, witty, and elusive. There is always a twinkle in the eye, unless that twinkle is better repurposed into a tear - one can die of hunger, after all. Devastating, and I recommend it in any format.
