Burn House Publishing asked Megan Allen:

Some may read The Meat Hunter and be surprised by its casual violence and Molly’s need to distribute her revenge in such a brutal way. Did you struggle with writing such disturbing scenes?

Megan Allen The murder scenes, in all their gruesomeness, are definitely the most exciting to write. It’s similar to watching a thriller at the cinema. Our hearts pound when someone’s life is on the line, when time is running out. It’s as if two parts of our consciousness are working simultaneously—one knows it’s just a fantasy, and remains seated, while the other has all the same physiological responses it would if this was a real-life experience. Palms sweat, hearts race. It’s all very invigorating. Especially when you have chocolate.
