In this dystopian world, all animals have been infected with a virus causing their meat to be inedible. So logically, the next step is animals are eradicated from society and legalized cannibalism is where it’s at. There are gory vignettes of everyday moments such as family dinner, and eating people is just part of the background noise. It’s dark as hell, it’s uncomfortable, but it was also a great skin crawling read.
