Recs if you like Piglet...

An emergent subgrene by and about strange women on themes of female rage, sisterhood, hunger, attraction, beauty, motherhood, violence, and much more.

these books use (literal) hunger as a political tool to speak to women’s oppression, repression and desire, whether through overt cannibal metaphor, speculative dispatches, or more subtle nuances of appetite in literary fiction. these women are hungry for something more, whether they’re allowed to act on it or not.

recommendations welcome!

Following women on journeys to do weird and maybe violent things.

Eat your fears

In these novels, women will do anything and everything to satiate their hunger. There's cannibalism, affairs, and everything in between!

inspired by both shanspeare’s video essay on the topic and also by my sheer adoration of this niche genre of books! vampires and other monsters are also included in this category.

All sorts of stories about all sorts of women. Mostly litfic, some horror.
