Tender Is The Flesh Is A Tragedy

While 'Tender is The Flesh' is a fun read exploring a dystopian setting where the consumption of human flesh is a normal part of society, I don't consider it scary. What did catch my attention was how incredibly sad it was. Those who live as human livestock, Marco's inner monologue, the dogs (if you know, you know). All of this leaves the reader with an incredibly bleak and depressed mood and I highly recommend it 💛

Just finished reading tender is the flesh and I just want to say... Jasmine deserves the world and I hope the rest ESPECIALLY Marcos a very happy die.

the feeling when a book fucks you up so hard you have to put it down and take a break because your emotional threshold has reached it's limit

TMA book rec for The Flesh

In this dystopian horror novel, animals around the globe have been infected with a deadly virus, leaving their meat contaminated and inedible. In the absence of these animals and their meat, the government has sanctioned cannibalism (though it’s taboo to refer to it as such). Meat processing plants become human processing plants and humans are bred and slaughtered like cattle. Follow Marcos, a manager of one of these plants, as he is gifted a human bred for the slaughter and is forced to face the inhumanity of this new world, with a plot twist that will leave you throwing this book across the room.

i thought this book suited The Flesh very well in highlighting the fact that we are no different from the animals we eat. after all…

meat is meat.
