'The Gods Are Not Large,' by Jane Hirshfield from The One Who Has Been Long In City Pent,' by John Keats and I went back and read Too Much Horror Fiction’s review after finishing it, and absolutely agree with Will’s claim that The Flesh Eaters is “a must for every horror fan who likes horror fiction nasty, brutish, and short.” Hell yeah.By Jane Hirshfield To One Who Has Been Long In City Pentīy John Keats Broadcast Date: FRIDAY: July 30, 1999 It’s written in the present tense, and this makes it feel like watching an utterly Hellish episode of Unsolved Mysteries. The book is called The Flesh Eaters, so I was expecting it to be exploitative, but I was pretty surprised by the end of the first chapter when a young girl helps stab her father death and then rolls around having sex in a pool of his blood. It has cannibalism, rape, incest, and torture, and it has them in abundance. The attraction of this book however, is not its historical accuracy it is the scenes of brutal violence and perversity. The story of Sawney Bean is probably just a legend, and Morse doesn’t stray far from the usual account.

Historical fiction is not something that interests me, and if I had known this was based on a “true story”, I might have been deterred. It’s based on Sawney Bean, a legendary Scottish cannibal. I’m pretty happy that I knew nothing about this book before I started it. I found a copy recently and devoured it in two sittings. I didn’t actually read the review, but the title alone was enough for me to put it on my to-read list. I first saw the title of this book on the Too Much Horror Fiction blog’s list of favourites.
