Hungry? So you have Scott an aspiring cook. His dream is to get his cookbook published and open a restaurant. Then you have Tracey a girl who gets a job at the pizza shop with Scott. Scott is in love with Tracey. Throw in an angry boyfriend , two roommates, a prophet and a shit ton of cannibalism and you have Hungry 😋 Enck brings this story to life with his in-depth characters. This book is part story and part cookbook. So if you are looking to make some Maggie wontons or maybe some prostitute pancakes ?! Hungry is for you !

The book has a new aspect at the middle, a transgressive vibe to it. Almost heard Chandler Morrison talking while reading the main character thoughts. It's really fifty-fifty Splatterpunk/Transgressive. Very gory almost surreal at some point. The cookbook is also one of my favorite point of the book. At one part of the book, I took a break, not sure if the story was worth it. but I was wrong, like I said you really get an other style of writing. It's like the writer become better and better. The ending wow.

4.5 🫀/5

Hungry whether at home or at the cottage is delightful. Funny, witty and suspenseful. Life or death at every turn a mystery original in every way. Scott toils with people's lives while he feels he sees into their futures. Everyone's future has significance and the lives can fall in place or a part as part of Scott's meal as a cannibal with insatiable tastes for human flesh and a grossness without rest. Scott is filled with energy to match his hunger for flesh that he was appealing to victims as romantic as involved in their lives.

(Sigh) I wanted to like this one...but... I just didn't. Hungry follows an aspiring cannibalistic chef and restauranteur. This review really boils down to, I like my gore with a story. A "makes me want to keep turning the page" story. This missed the mark for me, I was really pushing myself to finish it even though I grew totally disinterested.
