hey readers! i’ve been getting into fictional books recently and looking for some niche/unsettling books. Specifically ones that overlap themes of feminine rage and food (i am a chef, and an angry woman lol). I also enjoy the theme of cannibalism in books, so bonus points for that. some that I have read and enjoyed have been:
Cursed Bread by Sophie Makintosh
A Certain Hunger by Chelsea Summers
The Vegetarian by Han Kang
First Day of Spring by Nancy Tucker
Butter by Asako Yuzuki
Thanks in advanced 🙂

*Nightbitch* by Rachel Yoder has some interesting scenes with food, but I wouldn’t say it’s a main theme.
Less feminine rage but more ‘food’ focused (with a supernatural twist) – *Woman, Eating* by Claire Kohda. I’d say this one falls more in the weird girl/sad girl subgenre but you may enjoy it nonetheless.
And there’s a book coming out in August that made hit the mark for you called *The Dead Husband Cookbook* by Danielle Valentine.
