From Little Stack
When vultures start circling her home, Andi can’t help but think they’re sending her an invitation: come discover the sickly-sweet banquet of decay. She moves from fascination to obsession. She needs to know what the birds know. She needs to know what carrion tastes like. It’s a desire that moves past eating dead flesh. Andi yearns to be one with the flock. But the secrets the vultures keep comes with a price. One that risks turning the people she loves into nothing more than flesh to be devoured.
Sara Tantlinger's To Be Devoured capitalizes on our macabre preoccupation with the uglier side of nature, with love that topples into obsession, and with madness that is strangely beautiful in its barbarity. Her writing is equivalent to those unremitting avian beings her protagonist is so enamored of: It will hook its talons through your flesh, sink its neck into the ribboned edges of your wounds, and only relinquish your blighted body when it has swallowed your very soul.
Vultures, obsession, and an unnatural hunger: What more can you want in a horror story? With To Be Devoured, Sara Tantlinger has done it again as she ratchets up the terror in wonderfully surprising ways while crafting prose that's always a heady blend of the vicious and the vibrant. A book that's absolutely not to be missed!
