How to Be Eaten

by Maria Adelmann

Description

In a world where desire and danger blur, this darkly imaginative novel follows a protagonist drawn into an unsettling pursuit—one that turns ordinary hunger into something ritualistic, intimate, and hard to escape. As relationships deepen and power shifts, the story explores what it means to be consumed by another person’s needs, expectations, or appetites, and what—if anything—remains of you afterward. With a sharp, lyrical edge and a talent for unsettling atmosphere, Maria Adelmann blends psychological tension with speculative dread to examine consent, control, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive. Equal parts haunting and incisive, it’s a meditation on vulnerability and agency that lingers long after the last page.
