The Cannibal's Guide to Fasting

The Cannibal's Guide to Fasting by Dana Hammer digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Igor Fenenko, a former research scientist, is a scary, scary man. Not only is he a massive bodybuilder with a spider tattooed on his face, he has also been infected with Pestis Manducans - a viral cannibalism. Igor tried to resist indulging, but his research specimens smelled so delicious. Who did it hurt, really, to nibble a corpse?

Caught, disgraced, and sent to a 'rehabilitation' center, Igor is now forced to live in a government-mandated Containment Center. He spends his days pressing wildflowers, growing blueberries, and doing his best to avoid human meat. More than anything, he wants a cure for the virus that has ruined his life.

Igor's brother, Karl, is also infested with Pestis. But unlike Igor, he does not live in a Containment Center. He lives down by the river, where he runs a cannibal rights group. At first, the group seems harmless enough, if a bit creepy and overzealous. But when Igor discovers their evil practices, he is forced to intervene.

Aided and opposed by rich eccentrics who have their own agendas, Igor must use brains and muscles to find a cure while fighting the urge to turn brains and muscles into a delicious lunch.

“I honestly had no idea where this book was going to go. I absolutely loved it! The pain, the joy, and sorrow infused into this book. The details were amazing, and just the overall perspective. Igor was my favorite character. I loved seeing how he dealt with the challenges he faced and even grew to live people coming into his life. He never gave up once, and that's a character we need. Cults, politics, and just dealing with today's views on people. Of course, it was all intermingled to Cannibalism. This book really makes you think about things and realize things need change, and Igor certainly was that man. I'm glad I read this book.I received this ARC free and I really enjoyed it.”
“I read this book with a preconceived notion that I would be reading a typical zombie book. Drooling, blood thirsty, snarling zombies. I was so pleasantly surprised that this was in a league of its own! Igor is so complex and well thought out and I was rooting for him through the whole book. My heart went out to him as he suffered setback after setback. The world building and dynamics of the characters was top notch! This book was such a pleasure to read and I will definitely be looking up other works this author has penned! I was given an advance copy of this book for free and all of my opinions are my own.”
