Marcos is in the business of slaughtering humans only no one calls them that. Now, ‘special meat’ – human meat – is legal. Then, governments initiated the Transition. First, animals became infected with the virus and their meat became poisonous. I would also like to thank the author, Agustina Bazterrica, and the translator, Sarah Moses. All opinions and views are my own and are not influenced by receiving a copy of this book in any way. I would like to thank Poppy Stimpson and Pushkin Press for sending me an advanced e-copy of this book to review. Here is a list of some of the trigger warnings: Blood, explicit detail of eating human flesh, heavy discussions of the slaughter process, dehumanising language and actions, rape, sexual abuse and assault, violence, murder, death, animal abuse (very explicit in one section of the book), gore, explicit sex, loss of a child.* Given the topics the book discusses, it can make for a difficult read, so it is worth being mindful of this before reading. If you’re easily squeamish and don’t like gory books then this isn’t the book for you. *Trigger Warnings – This book has a LOT of trigger warnings and certainly isn’t for the faint hearted. Author: Agustina Bazterrica (Translated by Sarah Moses)
