Name: Cadáver Exquisito | Tender is the Flesh
Author: Agustina Bazterrica
Length: 211 pages
Sub-genre: dystopian, horror, literary
Why it's awesome: I was really captivated by the dystopian horror of this book. In this world, cannibalism is commonplace. The world is set up around it: humans are raised as cattle to be consumed. One man, though, seems to find the government-sanctioned cannibalism unsettling, and then one day he is gifted a woman to be used for meat...
Any other important information to know about: This book is absolutely horrific. There is, of course, cannibalism; it is explicitly described. There is also rape, animal cruelty, slavery, torture, etc. If you'd rather not be surprised, the Storygraph link below has a lot of content warnings.
