A Certain Hunger

A mouthwatering debut and 'one of the most uniquely fun and campily gory novels in recent memory' (New York Times)

''Irresistable.'' Megan Abbott ''A gory, gorgeous feast of a book.'' Kiran Millwood Hargrave ''This book is crazy. You have to read it.'' Bon Appetit Dorothy Daniels has always had a voracious - and adventurous - appetite. From her idyllic farm-to-table childhood (homegrown tomatoes, thick slices of freshly baked bread) to the heights of her career as a food critic (white truffles washed down with Barolo straight from the bottle) Dorothy has never been shy about indulging her exquisite tastes - even when it lead to her plunging an ice pick into her lover''s neck. There is something inside Dorothy that makes her different from everybody else. Something she''s finally ready to confess. But beware: her story just might make you wonder how your lover would taste sauteed with shallots and mushrooms and deglazed with a little red wine.
