lol at my 30% overlap with this list and I don't even eat meat myself.

ha especially lately there have been a lot of popular books with cannibalism, it's a topic many artists are exploring in different ways right now!
Only vicariously 😉
As they should🙂↕️
Help how did you even think of this list idea

ha it's a common theme I find in a lot of the books that I read! It makes sense if you check out my profile and my other lists lol
context for this list:
the books on this list include, at minimum, one woman who consumes human flesh (her own or other's) OR she thinks about cannibalism in some form.
these are not necessarily girlboss or supporting women's wrongs stories, though some are. there is a range of genres on this list, and several perspectives. some of the titles, such as Monstrilio, Mother For Dinner, and Lapvona are not exclusively written from a woman's POV.
there is no True Crime on this list as i do not read that genre, but i am open to suggestions.
