A meteorite strikes a deserted island so a small group sets off on an expedition of the island. It would be a pretty boring book if the island truly was deserted so lucky for us it’s teeming with bloodthirsty cannibals!
Michael Faun spins a great tale with just the right amount of character development right before they’re brutally devoured. The story highlights humanities selfishness and self-indulgent tendencies. There’s mystery, suspense, Hell, even a little romance. And then there’s blood. Glorious blood!
Cannibal Island is the literary equivalent of the classic Italian Cannibal films of the 70’s and 80’s the likes of Cannibal Holocaust, Cannibal Ferox, The Man From Deep River, and Mountain of the Cannibal God. Michael Faun has done his research and he knows the genre well. The proof is in this novella, so if you have even the slightest interest in Cannibal Horror this is a must read.
