Eat Thy Neighbour
UK: Sutton Publishing, 2006. First edition. Hardcover. Fine in fine dust jacket. First edition. Hardcover. 246 pp (w/ index & bibliography). A lively and informative account of the most deep-seated of taboos, cannibalism. The authors delve into the significance of devouring human flesh, the many reasons it has happened over the centuries, and the cultural disgust (or permissiveness) of the practice. Individual cannibals as well as groups are mentioned here, many who have become infamous for their dietary proclivities. Cannibalism in media, movies, and literature are analyzed, as are modern-day examples, such as internet figures who have found willing sacrifices on the web. While not recommended for the squeamish, this book provides insight into those dark recesses of troubled minds and society's strict loathing of consuming human flesh. Fine / Fine. Item #E34031
