I highly recommend looking at trigger warnings before reading thism it goes in depth on the butchering, tanning, breeding process of HUMANS in a cannabalistic world. I dove into this without looking at proper TW, and even though I enjoyed the writing and the author very much, I wish I took a proper look into what I will be reading.

Stunning, brilliant, deeply dehumanising yet reveals how at our very core, it is human interest to crave companionship or a reprieve from loneliness. Extremely graphic but a great read - definitely will be thinking about this one for a while.
