A bonus episode interview with the author of A Certain Hunger, Chelsea G. Summers.
Her book has been called the "feminist American Psycho", and is a riot of a novel about sex, hunger, murder and cannibalism.
Dorothy Daniels has always had a voracious – and adventurous – appetite. From her idyllic farm-to-table childhood (homegrown tomatoes, thick slices of freshly baked bread) to the heights of her career as a food critic (white truffles washed down with Barolo straight from the bottle) Dorothy has never been shy about indulging her exquisite tastes – even when it lead to her plunging an ice pick into her lover’s neck.
