'A truly monstrous romance' JULIA ARMFIELD, AUTHOR OF OUR WIVES UNDER THE SEA

'An exciting new hybrid horror-romance novel' THE NEW YORK TIMES

'Lesbian pulp meets literary horror' YAEL VAN DER WOUDEN, AUTHOR OF THE SAFEKEEP 

‘A heady novel of desire and despair’ – SFX Magazine

A monstrous-yet-sexy queer horror novel guaranteed to keep you up all night...

There is a monster inside of Angelina Sicco. All she wants is to walk her mongrel dog, hold court with her brother in their local dive bar, and bait hot queer women to her sleepy, conservative hometown, Cadenze. The problem is, so does the monster. It wants what Angelina has done, it wants what she’s going to do. It wants to eat her whole life, and every version of every future she might have with it.

 

Until it possessed her, the famous monster of Cadenze lived deep in a pit inside the mountain. But on the night when Angelina runs into her brother’s ex, the sternly handsome Jagvi, the creature rises hungry and ready to eat. Its claws comb through her private thoughts, her most intimate and traumatic memories. Only Jagvi's touch repels it, but the monster feasts on all the mess that makes up a life, and Angelina Sicco's has never looked tastier. What will Angelina do to protect her future? And just how much will it cost her?

Reviews for Feast While You Can: a 'brilliantly visceral queer horror' for fans of Julia Armfield and Eliza Clark

'A truly monstrous romance, by turns alluring and appalling, sexy and grotesque, kinky and transportive.' -- — Julia Armfield, author of Our Wives Under the Sea and Private Rites 'Beautiful, greedy and terrifying, this book makes an intimate home for itself right alongside your bones.' -- — Freya Marske, internationally bestselling author of A Marvellous Light 'Feast While You Can has the delicious compulsion of a thriller and all the lush prose and tenderness of a love story. I devoured it and it will devour you.' -- —Sarvat Hasin, author of The Giant Dark 'Feast While You Can is a singingly clever and gnarly tale of hunger and possession. Lesbian pulp meets literary horror – truly unlike anything else. The sexiest book you'll read this year!' -- — Yael van der Wouden, author of The Safekeep 'A love story both modern and timeless, Feast While You Can is also the one-that-got-away horror fable of your dreams. What a delicious, original, dark-and-stormy-night of a novel.' -- —Amy Jo Burns, author of Mercury 'An erotic, feral masterpiece that straddles the imagined borders between lust and horror, crafting a new kind of folklore that taps into the very essence of desire. Impossible to put down, but you must try – because a literary feast like this should be enjoyed slowly.' -- — Jennifer Neal, author of Notes on Her Color 'Horribly compelling, smart and so sexy. However much I wanted to turn away from Feast While You Can, I just couldn't quite bring myself to. A masterfully told, utterly grotesque love story.’  -- – Laura Kay, author of The Split ‘Messy lesbians fight a horrifying monster in a small town. Sophisticated and terrifying, it genre splices so well that it's not a splice any more. I've never read anything like it!’  -- – Tamsyn Muir, author of the Locked Tomb series
