Thank you @404ink for my free ARC of Animals Eat Each Other - I think this little novel (novella really, at only 150 pages) had a tonne of potential, but I’m not sure it was for me. It portrays the fraught, three-way relationship between the unnamed narrator and an older couple which is typically doomed from the beginning and explores some very dark places. I certainly was a fan of Nash’s raw, no-frills writing, which was perfect for the topics she was handling, but a lot of the content felt like it was just for shock value. If the themes such as satanism and destructive behaviours had been explored more fully then I think it could have been something great, but it barely scratched the surface with 150 pages.

Try this one if you like books about twisted relationships and damaged characters! I’d personally be open to reading more of Nash’s work - if there are a few more pages to work with and perhaps less shock-value material.
