About The Book
'I've never read anything like it!' TAMSYN MUIR, AUTHOR OF THE LOCKED TOMB SERIES
'Beautiful, greedy and terrifying' FREYA MARSKE, AUTHOR OF A MARVELLOUS LIGHT
A grotesque-yet-sexy queer horror novel guaranteed to keep you up all night.
Don't wake the monster, it'd just love to get to know you...
Angelina Sicco was born and raised in Cadenze, an ugly little mountain town that's dead most of the year. Determined to be content with her lot in life, she walks her mongrel dog, attends her brother's heavy metal concerts, holds court in the local dive bar, and does everything she can to bait hot, queer women to her sleepy, conservative hometown. On the night of a family party, Angelina runs into the sternly handsome Jagvi, who's back in town for a spell. And who just so happens to be her brother's ex-girlfriend.
But when the local monster makes Angelina its latest target, her feelings for Jagvi seem to be the least of her troubles. The monster feasts on all the messy bits that make up a life, and Angelina Sicco's has never looked tastier. Its claws comb through her private thoughts, her most intimate and traumatic memories. Only Jagvi's touch repels it - the final trigger for a secret, passionate romance. But what is Angelina willing do to protect her future - and at what cost?

Raves and Reviews
'A truly monstrous romance, by turns alluring and appalling, sexy and grotesque, kinky and transportive.'
– — Julia Armfield, author of Our Wives Under the Sea and Private Rites
'Beautiful, greedy and terrifying, this book makes an intimate home for itself right alongside your bones.'
– — Freya Marske, internationally bestselling author of A Marvellous Light
'Feast While You Can has the delicious compulsion of a thriller and all the lush prose and tenderness of a love story. I devoured it and it will devour you.'
– —Sarvat Hasin, author of The Giant Dark
'Feast While You Can is a singingly clever and gnarly tale of hunger and possession. Lesbian pulp meets literary horror – truly unlike anything else. The sexiest book you'll read this year!'
– — Yael van der Wouden, author of The Safekeep
'A love story both modern and timeless, Feast While You Can is also the one-that-got-away horror fable of your dreams. What a delicious, original, dark-and-stormy-night of a novel.'
– —Amy Jo Burns, author of Mercury
'An erotic, feral masterpiece that straddles the imagined borders between lust and horror, crafting a new kind of folklore that taps into the very essence of desire. Impossible to put down, but you must try – because a literary feast like this should be enjoyed slowly.'
– — Jennifer Neal, author of Notes on Her Color
'Horribly compelling, smart and so sexy. However much I wanted to turn away from Feast While You Can, I just couldn't quite bring myself to. A masterfully told, utterly grotesque love story.’
– – Laura Kay, author of The Split
‘Messy lesbians fight a horrifying monster in a small town. Sophisticated and terrifying, it genre splices so well that it's not a splice any more. I've never read anything like it!’
– – Tamsyn Muir, author of the Locked Tomb series
‘So scary you won't want to sleep alone... so sexy you definitely won't want to sleep alone! Seriously hot, deeply unnerving, Feast While You Can deserves to be gobbled up in a single sitting. From the crepuscular setting, to the beautifully rendered characters, this is a powerhouse of queer horror. And while Angelina is a brilliantly brattish protagonist, it's Jag - unforgettable Jag - who joins the ranks of Byronic heroes.'
– - Victoria Gosling, author of Bliss and Blunder
‘A fresh, queer spin on possession horror with a sharp focus on deeply complex small-town dynamics.’
– - Kirkus Review
‘Feast While You Can puts small town queer ache through a possession horror filter, and what comes out is monstrous, feral, and unspeakably hot. The sentences are delicious, the butch swagger more so, and the merciless tension building left me gloriously wrecked. This book is a perverted gift and I’m obsessed.'
– - Jane Flett, author of Freakslaw
