Sayaka Murata continues to ask "what if we just shifted social norms around cannibalism and sex" and it continues to make a reader's skin crawl.

Like any short story collection, there are a few skips. That said, it's still a stellar collection with characters that appear in a few stories (something I personally love), familiar characters from Earthlings making a visit, and lots of weirdness. The titular story was one of my favorites, although I decided to not read it while I was eating.

Recommended if you've ever wondered why we don't make clothing out of human hair or what human flesh would taste like stir fried and are morbidly curious about the answers.
