these books have characters or themes that will make you think twice before RSVPing to the next cookout...

I'm slowly gonna add to this list as I mull it over... I HAD to get it in the works 'cuz the Nekromantix song popped into my head the other day and has been stuck there ever since LOL
i love this - my perfect list of books to avoid, all in one place!!!!! (cannibalism FREAKS me out)
Same lol 🙂↕️🫠

I'm glad to be able to give you guys a fair warning for these 🫡🫡
you’re doing excellent work 🩷 literally saved this list just so i can check my tbr against it eventually 🫡
Thank you for your contribution 🙂↕️
Is it wrong to say cannibalism? Because I fucking love cannibalism.
itsmalOP
if you've got recs, consider me standing before you with my arms wide open and ready to receive them
Not to get immediately cancelled but Exquisite Corpse by Poppy Z Brite would fit. I also haven't read it yet but I hear Madk by Ryo Suzuri also has cannibalism.

Exquisite Corpse has been on my tbr for a while--adding so I don't forget it! and MADK!!!! IT DOES! it's also BEAUTIFUL, gosh.... overdue for a reread on that one, I can't believe I didn't add it immediately hahaha
I've got to read it still! It looks very unnerving (which I adore). I know there's a few other cannibalism books like The Eyes Are the Best Part but I haven't read it so I'm unsure about most it other than having cannibalism? I wish SG would let us sort by cw 🤭
you could probably check a site like triggerwarningdatabase.com or booktriggerwarnings.com & look at their lists of books tagged with cannibalism warnings! 😬
Ok, it looks like i have a type, most of these are already in my TBR. Parasyte is sooooo good😵💫
diabolical list, gimme 20 more
