A well-researched, scholarly tome with Leatherface on it.
9 April 2000
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Wow...I don't really know what I expected from this book, but it's certainly much more informative than it has to be. From instances of criminal and hunger-forced cannibalism in the 20th century to a look at the shared themes of horror movies and fairy tales, this book delivers again and again. There are quite a few typos that I found distracting, and some of the photos look like they were digitized to be put into the book, but not restored to photographic quality. This makes some of the photos look like old Atari graphics. Those minor yet annoying flaws are what keeps this from being a five star book.

"Meat is Murder!" is great!
11 Sep 1998
Format:Paperback
Mikita Brottman's book "Meat is Murder!" is a terrific book. Brottman's vivacious descriptions of many films about or including cannibalism create an astounding piece of literature that is pure enjoyment to read. A must for fans of any genre of films!

Full of Vital Protein !!
18 Jun 2006
Format:Paperback
This is a rare cult item - I've been looking for a copy for a long time. It's a serious look at cannibalism in films and culture, and also in history and true crime. Repeat: a SERIOUS look. Even though it looks like a gorefest from the picture on the cover, it's not - it's a wide-ranging study (maybe a little beyond some of the people who gave it a low rating). It's NOT a PhD dissertation, as somebody says here, but an in-depth look at something disturbing. The bottom line: don't buy it unless you can handle some deep thoughts, or you'll be disappointed - like some of these reviewers seem to have been.
