Step into the deprived and wandering mind of T.C. Whetstone’s debut novelette—FEED!. You’ll think twice before returning your cart at the store, or falling in love with a woman who seems to offer it all.
FEED! follows the story of a nameless man that hovers in the parking lot of the supermarket, FEED! He just waits and watches for 6 long months. What is he fixated on? Well that’s simple… Amimi. Amimi is the object of this nameless man’s desire. She’s beautiful, alluring, and confident and this man knows she’s EXACTLY what he’s been looking for. Today he has decided, it’s time. He’s finally going to go to her. But his plan goes horribly awry when he winds up locked in her trunk. He begins to find out that Amimi isn’t at all the woman he thought she’d be.
FEED! - is a great debut novelette. The author takes the reader on a journey through a disturbed mind and visits the line between predator & prey. Clearly, nothing is as what it seems to be in this story. It’s bold.. and it’s refreshingly unique. At times the pacing felt a little rushed and there wasn’t many details given about the main characters.. but I think it was intentionally written that way. It sucks you into this world almost immediately and will leave you feeling… what the F did I just read???
Visceral and vivid, FEED! will keep you turning the page for more. A haunting tale that paints eerily real portraits of the pastoral and mundane and juxtaposes them with gore and taboo. There's a sincere heart to the story, and the plot only comes second to the vibrant writing. I'm looking forward to following T.C. Whetstone's work, and uncomfortably await more.
I absolutely loved this book from start to finish. There was so much development and I felt immersed into the FEED! world. I can't wait to see where it goes next. Never planned on rooting for who I was by the end of it. Well-worth the hour to delve into this realm.
I hate leaving negative reviews. I had high hopes for this book after seeing a TikTok about it, but it didn’t meet my expectations. I think the author has potential, but this book missed the mark.
