“How can a tale be brutal and tender, grotesque and beautiful all at the same time? I don’t know, but Sara Tantlinger achieves it in To Be Devoured. Hypnotic, erotic, and gory, this is a novella that will sear itself into your imagination. Highly recommended!” 
—Jonathan Janz, Author of Marla and The Siren and the Specter\n"Sara Tantlinger's To Be Devoured capitalizes on our macabre preoccupation with the uglier side of nature, with love that topples into obsession, and with madness that is strangely beautiful in its barbarity. Her writing is equivalent to those unremitting avian beings her protagonist is so enamored of: It will hook its talons through your flesh, sink its neck into the ribboned edges of your wounds, and only relinquish your blighted body when it has swallowed your very soul." 
—Christa Carmen, author of Something Borrowed, Something Blood-Soaked, winner of the Indie Horror Book Awards for Best Debut Collection\n"Vultures, obsession, and an unnatural hunger: What more can you want in a horror story? With To Be Devoured, Sara Tantlinger has done it again as she ratchets up the terror in wonderfully surprising ways while crafting prose that's always a heady blend of the vicious and the vibrant. A book that's absolutely not to be missed!" 
—Gwendolyn Kiste, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Rust Maidens
