Carnalis is a story about cannibalism, sapphism, feminine rage, and betrayal
Wealthy party girl Lauren hungers for human flesh. Her girlfriend Alex, a recently injured dancer, is trapped in Lauren's toxic and deadly spiral. The looming threat of capture may prove to be less dangerous than Lauren herself and the lengths she will go to satiate her needs. Will Alex be next on the menu?
Reviews:
"Unmissable. Morris will have you wondering how everyone you know and love would taste with a little rosemary and garlic. Sensuous, alien, and perversely mouth-watering. A skin-crawling delight." -Gretchen Felker-Martin, author of Manhunt
"Beneath all the gore is a deeper commentary on societal pressures around weight loss as well as an exploration of how the state treats people from vulnerable and marginalized backgrounds and what it's like to be queer and to have to hide it from family. This deeply sensual cannibal horror book is perfect for fans of Hailey Piper, Jack Ketchum, and Eric LaRocca." -Booklist, starred review
