new year new cannibalism list: It seems that when people discuss cannibalism in media, it is often centered around its use as a metaphor for love. These are books where different kinds of love (romantic, familial, maternal, and platonic) are expressed through the consumption of human flesh by another human. There is horror, historical fiction, even some non-fiction in this list. Bon appetit
Bloom was so much fun to read! I yapped to my cat with every theory and predication I had! My eyes were glued to libby like 👁️👁️ in the last quarter or so

I had a great time with Bloom, the ending is still a favorite of mine!
It was insane!!! Also when I first started reading I had no idea there was going to be cannibalism in the story UNTIL she mentions lard. And for some reason, the lard set off a few alarms
