This is an unusual novel and may well result in the reader abstaining from meat products upon completion. The horror in the book comes from the descriptions and events that occur in MMP (Magnus Meat Packaging) Richard Shanti “the ice pick” is a stunman and it is his job to fire a bolt gun into the...
The Time Machine (1960) was one of my favorite movies as a child. I guess I was a weird little girl because I absolutely lived for the days when I could find it on the tv on weekends. For some reason, I never did get around to reading the source material until now. And a big Thank You to SYNC for of...

Joseph D'Lacey was someone who I decided to read based on the cover blurb by Stephen King. That blurb wasn't on Meat, though (it was on Black Feathers), and as I looked more at the book I bought, I realized that Stephen King thought that D'Lacey rocks due to a different novel, so I decided to read ...

I love audiobooks but I'm pretty particular about them - the narrator has to make me feel part of the book, and the story needs to capture my attention enough that I'm not distracted by things around me. And the audiobook version certainly met m...
There are some books you devour, consuming page after page after page in a race to the end. Then there are others that you savor . . . that you take your time to digest . . . that linger on the literary palate long after the past page is turned.Joseph D'Lacey debut novel, Meat, is definitely the lat...
I feel really stupid for not figuring out what the Chosen were when I first read about what happened to the calves. It sank in and I just couldn't believe it. Great book, very believable. I don't like to know where my food comes from, and I'm sure a lot of people don't.
Meat was a fantastic, dark, disturbing and thought provoking novel. It was nothing that I had expected it to be and everything that I hoped it would be. Solid 4.5 stars
Most of the time it is great to go in totally blind and I had this stored in my non-fiction shelves as a single commodity factual such as Salt or Nutmeg.Nope.This is gorefest horror fiction, luckily I didn't have to wade through too much to realise my mistake.
