Woah. What a f***ing book. Our editor said we got a little carried away with this episode, so let me be super clear: we DO NOT condone cannibalism or murder. But we do condone superb writing and unique storylines. Dorothy is a food critic who is also a murderer. She is a psychopath who eats the men she kills.

This week, we readA Certain Hunger by Chelsea G. Summers

Rebekah Sausmikat, lover of all books, weird and slightly disturbing, joins me today to discuss a book that surprised us in many different ways.

In this episode we cover:

• The difference between sociopaths and psychopaths and which one Dorothy is.
• Our society’s fascination with cannibalism.
• Is this book a feminist take on murder?

Open your book and press play on a podcast episode that will leave you questioning who to trust, especially when it comes to the unreliable, psychopath narrator.
