Hansel and Gretel. Turkish Delight. Viscous blood and meaty gristle. From the rituals that surround mealtime to the culture-spanning tales of insatiably hungry monsters, food is often used as both tool and metaphor in speculative fiction. In this collection of fifteen essays, the intersection of food and horror is explored in bone-crunching, marrow-slurping detail.

This is the expanded edition of the collection of essays that first appeared on The Book Smugglers, now with extra material! The original essays won the Sir Julius Vogel Award for fan writing in 2017.
