Eat Him If You Like by Jean Teule
A true story. Tuesday 16 August 1870, Alain de Money, makes his way to the village fair. Two hours later, the crowd has gone crazy; they have lynched, tortured, burned and eaten him. How could such a horror be possible?
'Sticking closely to the known facts, Jean Teulé’s novelisation offers no easy explanations for what happened but the transformation from rural idyll to hell on earth is terrifyingly convincing’ Financial Times 'Teulé’s milieu is centred on the “merriment of vice and cruelty”His novels are bawdy, full of rollicking sex and roiling violence. However, he undercuts this with a graphic humour born of his earlier career as an illustrator' The Independent 'Exceptionally well written, Eat Him If You Like will have a very special appeal to suspenseful mystery enthusiasts, students of 19th Century French history' Midwest Book Review 'An engrossing book to be read in one big gulp' Kirkus Reviews 'Teulé’s vivid account of ordinary folk inexplicably transformed into monsters resonates long after reading' Publishers Weekly 'Makes you feel uncomfortable for all the right reasons … a thought provoking novella' Savidge Reads Praise for Jean Tuelé 'His darkly comic tales delved into real-life murky milieus as well as his own baroque imagination, and detailed an array of misdeeds ranging from cuckoldry to cannibalism' The Telegraph
Jean Teule lives in Marais with his companion, the French film actress Miou-Miou. An illustrator, filmmaker and television presenter, he is also a prize winning author.
