Burgers, very heavy on the meat, for Rory who craves all the meat after being transformed into a werewolf in Such Sharp Teeth by Rachel Harrison.
“I already said I would,” I say, shoving a piece of bread into my mouth.
Such Sharp Teeth by Rachel Harrison
It tastes weird. There’s something off about it. It’s gummy. Acrid. But I’m not going to say that to Scarlett, and I didn’t realize how hungry I was until right this moment, so I swallow it anyway.
…I don’t know why I keep eating this bread. What I could really go for is a burger.
Such Sharp Teeth is a supernatural, horror novel that’s light(ish) on the gore and the scary.
After getting attacked by a wild animal in the woods, life gets weird for Rory. Her hair looks amazing but sometimes she smells like…wet dog? She only wants to eat meat. So. Much. Meat. She can’t get drunk. She’s insanely strong. And silver buuuurns.
On the surface Such Sharp Teeth is a supernatural story filled with suspense, humor, and romance. On another level, Harrison uses a traumatic werewolf transformation to explore many of the changes that can be experienced in a female body–periods, pregnancy, menopause, and even trauma.
This book was excellent, thought-provoking, and would be an especially good read if you’re looking for something monster-spooky for Halloween.
