Cooking for Cannibals

“Fascinating and original are two words that come to mind when I think about Rich Leder's Cooking for Cannibals. Surprising and funny are two more. This book is brilliant and entertaining from the start until the end. 5 Stars all the way!”

“At times hysterically funny, at other times thrilling, and sometimes both at once, Cooking for Cannibals will appeal to readers of medical thrillers, satire, speculative fiction, and horror, to start. Part zombie fiction, part something you’ve never read before ... Leder manages to pull off a novel that is at once a black comedy and fast-­paced thriller, setting it apart in the crowded thriller genre, and existing in a genre of its own.”

“Devastatingly funny, dark, and unputdownable. Cooking for Cannibals is one of the year's best thrillers!”

“Cooking for Cannibals is a fast-paced, Raymond Chandler-esque creep-thriller with a very funny and sardonic edge.”

“Leder mixes his dark humor with a compelling storyline full of twists and turns that is immensely readable and hard to put down. Cooking For Cannibals is ideal for lovers of fast-paced high-concept thrillers. As the insanity continues to build exponentially throughout the book, it becomes more and more difficult not to read "just one more chapter" as you find yourself craving to find out just how crazy things are going to get. The perfect book for a binge read!”

“Darkly mischievous, vigorously manic, and surprisingly touching and tender, Cooking for Cannibals is for readers with strong stomachs, a dark sense of humor, and a need for some off-the-rails, comically violent catharsis in these crazy days. If that's you, then Rich Leder's delightfully bizarre book may be just the ticket!”

“I just can't recommend Cooking for Cannibals highly enough. The language is bad, the bad guys are despicable, the old folks are randy, the love story is everything you could sort of wish for in a book where rats kill by peeling the flesh off their victims, and the laughs are nonstop. Rich Leder pulls off the last minute, wonderful, hopeful twist that we all need to read. 5 Stars!”

“What a hilarious and thrilling shitshow of a story! The characters are quirky, evil, unnerving, and freaking awesome. The plot is brilliant and fast-paced, with this reader eager to find out how they all get out of the mess they're in. If you like a rollercoaster thriller filled with partying geriatrics, lab rats, psychopathic hitmen, dodgy parole officers, diehard reporters, dogged cops, an unlikely couple, and a drug to change the world, give this book a try. I guarantee you won't be able to put it down!”

“One terrific and fascinating idea for a novel, delivered with quick wit and sparkling humor, this new Rich Leder tale is one of the most entertaining books of the time! Highly recommended.”

“Oh my goodness! Like nothing I have ever read before. Hilarious, shocking, funny, dark, and gross--what a ride!”

“Without a doubt, Cooking for Cannibals, delivers a bizarre, far-fetched, darkly humorous motorcycle ride into Los Angeles madness. It's a tongue-in-cheek reading pleasure for any lover of dark comedy, so grab a copy, climb onto Johnny Fairfax's Harley, and read off into the sunset! 5-Stars.”

“A thrilling helter-skelter of a book!”

“Cooking for Cannibals is one of the best horror comedies to come along in years. Rich Leder has created an irresistible dark comic thriller that keeps you involved with plot and character until the end. Books and movies are saturated with cannibals and science gone amok, so obviously it's time to have a little fun with the genre, and that's exactly what this author does. He writes a solid story about cannibals that pulls you in with the expected tropes but puts a comedic twist on it that's refreshing and fun. He also gets into the characters more deeply than you might think, and there's a sweet side to the story as well. Today's troubling times could use a little- or a lot of humor. This one is tailor-made for the big (or small) screen. If you're looking for escapism in the vein of Pride, Prejudice, and Zombies or Shaun of the Dead, then treat yourself to Cooking for Cannibals by Rich Leder!”
