Recs if you like Flesh and Blood: A History of the Cannibal Complex...

how we keep them, how they happen, how they taste, how we think about them, and everything else in-between

I mean I feel like this one is pretty self explanatory. cannibalism that happened in real life NOT true crime (mostly)

i see new cannibal-leaning lists on PB all the time. modern authors are running with this theme in so many fun ways. BUT! this queer-coded, girlboss, eat the rich cannibalism we're seeing a lot of right now is brand new. i think it's important to balance this with an understanding of the role that cannibalism has played in colonialism and systematic violence. here are some books to read if you're a fan of man-eaters, soylent green, or special meat. as always, i am open to recommendations!
