Publisher's summary

It all happened so quickly. First, animals became infected with the virus and their meat became poisonous. Then, governments initiated the Transition. Now, 'special meat' - human meat - is legal.

Marcos is in the business of slaughtering humans, only no one calls them that. He works with numbers, consignments, processing. One day, he's given a gift to seal a deal: a specimen of the finest quality. He leaves her in his barn, tied up, a problem to be disposed of later.

But the specimen haunts Marcos. Her trembling body, her eyes that watch him, that seem to understand. And soon, he becomes tortured by what has been lost - and what might still be saved...

Confronting and genius

If you can get through this it is totally worth it. This will make you question everything and challenge your deepest and most Internal assumptions about what makes us human, as opposed to what is humanity. Highly recommended. A stellar performance also.

Bizarre but intriguing

Not for the light hearted. Fairly standard dystopian story but with a huge focus on characters. Would give it a read!
