Context for this list: There is a recurring theme in fiction, especially horror, of grief making people act in ways they otherwise wouldn't, such as committing acts of violence or overall losing their grip on reality or rationality. In these books, you'll find stories of people mourning lost loved ones, and being driven by grief to commit acts of cannibalism. You will also find some non-fiction books about real mortuary cannibalism that has been practiced all over the world.
