Cannibalism is utterly repulsive and abhorrent to most of us. Yet the practice was widespread all over the world in prehistoric times. Chillingly, there are some who still do it today and their depraved thirst for human flesh is so strong they resort to slaughtering others to satisfy it.
A book to enjoy with some fava beans and a nice chianti, as Shreeve takes a look at some modern-day fiends who delight in eating the flesh of others.
