"Tender is the Flesh" is a dystopian body-horror novel by Argentine author, Agustina Bazterrica. Animals have become poisonous for human consumption so cannibalism is legalized and standardized. #horrorstories #books #spooky #bookreview
I read it twice. I felt lonely, disgusting, slimy, traitor to humanity I couldn't look someone in the eyes. Claustrophobic, cold and hot at the same time. In my mind, it felt like the world was cold and lifeless even if the sun was shining and the sky was blue nothing seems cheerful.
i honestly haven’t seen anyone in any review mentioning the scene where Marcos is playing with the puppies and they bite and scratch at him. if you’ve played rough with a puppy you know they draw blood or at the very least break skin. but marcos never got sick. so his idea that the virus is a lie is kind of confirmed by that at least to some extent
@@GhostintheStacks ikr! that scene really stood out to me bc i was so anxious abt him getting sick afterwards and i was kinda waiting for that shoe to drop but it never did. there was also a similar scene later on where one of the teens who killed the puppies got bit and all his friends freaked out and his response was to say it was a government lie.
