Rezensionen

"[The title] would be particularly interesting for those working at the intersection of food studies, popular media, and critical theory. ... For those interested in updates to classic horror tropes, the anthology provides smart and contemporary takes on zombies and vampires." (KC Lynch, The Journal of the Fantastic in the Art, Vol. 30 (2), 2020)
