A grotesque-yet-sexy queer horror novel guaranteed to keep you up all night...

There is a monster inside of Angelina Sicco. All she wants is to walk her mongrel dog, hold court with her brother in their local dive bar, and bait hot queer women to her sleepy, conservative hometown, Cadenze. The problem is, so does the monster. It wants what Angelina has done, it wants what she's going to do. It wants to eat her whole life, and every version of every future she might have with it.

Until it possessed her, the famous monster of Cadenze lived deep in a pit inside the mountain. But on the night when Angelina runs into her brother's ex, the sternly handsome Jagvi, the creature rises hungry and ready to eat. Its claws comb through her private thoughts, her most intimate and traumatic memories. Only Jagvi's touch repels it, but the monster feasts on all the mess that makes up a life, and Angelina Sicco's has never looked tastier. What will Angelina do to protect her future? And just how much will it cost her?

Reviews
'A truly monstrous romance, by turns alluring and appalling, sexy and grotesque, kinky and transportive. It's Call Me By Your Name meets Stephen King's It, for lesbians. It threw me against the wall and I loved it.' -- Julia Armfield, author of Our Wives Under the Sea and Private Rites
'Messy lesbians fight a horrifying monster in a small town. Sophisticated and petrifying, 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
'Vivid, immersive, and crafted with richly stunning prose, Feast While You Can is a frightening and sensual exploration of possession and eroticism. A fanged literary dalliance poised to disturb and arouse in equal measure.' -- Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke
'Beautiful, greedy and terrifying, this book makes an intimate home for itself right alongside your bones.' -- Freya Marske, internationally bestselling author of The Last Binding series
'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 Booker Prize shortlisted The Safekeep
'A fresh, queer spin on possession horror with a sharp focus on deeply complex small-town dynamics.' -- Kirkus Review
'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
'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
'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
'A monstrous and invasive horror story with a tender beating heart. This novel left me breathless.' -- Lucy Rose, author of The Lamb
