Meat is Murder! An Illustrated Guide to Cannibal Culture

by Mikita Brottman

Description by OLDIES.com:

Crossing all filmic genres, Meat is Murder! covers mondo and exploitation films such as Cannibal Holocaust, horror movies such as Texas Chainsaw Massacre, arthouse classics such as Peter Greenaway's The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover and more mainstream films such as Alive. One of the book's strengths is in the juxtaposition of these films with details of the atrocious crimes of real-life cannibals including Ed Gein, Albert Fish, Jeffrey Dahmer and Andrei Chikatilo; who paradoxically have long been a source of inspiration to many film-makers.
