Bite by Bite

by Aimee Nezhukumatathil

First published 2024

Aimee feels an overwhelming hunger that ordinary food cannot satisfy. The young woman discovers her appetite demands something far more disturbing. She targets the people living around her, consuming them one after another. Each meal intensifies her cravings rather than providing relief. Law enforcement begins investigating the disappearances in her neighborhood. The investigation tightens around Aimee as evidence mounts against her. She realizes she must decide between two impossible paths. She can surrender completely to these violent impulses that have taken control of her life. Or she can fight against her nature and attempt to save what remains of her humanity. The choice will determine whether she loses herself entirely to the monster she has become. Her survival depends on this decision, but so does her soul.
