did not go into this expecting corporate cannibalism but hey, i’m not complaining! 

the figurative and literal meaning of becoming a cannibal to survive in the corporate world was perfect. it was short but so so gross and the ending was satisfying. 

another great filthy loot book 👏

I wasn't really into this when I first started reading it, it was quite slow to start and it felt like it was going to turn into more of a weird drama. I never should have doubted Filthy Loot.

The second half of this book was amazing, gory and dramatic, and the ending! Superb. Definitely didn't go where I thought it was going to go.

Another great one from Filthy Loot, definitely recommend!

I know what you’re thinking and you are dead wrong. When the new graduate finds herself with an opportunity to work for a publisher that specializes in celebrity biographies she jumps at the chance. However, her boss is looking for more than a piece of her. What’s it like to work for a boogeyman?
“I watched in confused horror as his fingertips tore ten round incisions into my body, breaking the skin, each digit disappearing up to the first knuckle.”
This was so much more than I expected. I don’t know how Rebecca Rowland packed it all in but I’m so glad she did. It was original and quick so I don’t want to give any more away except to say that there are more ways to climb the corporate ladder than by shagging the boss.

If you're expecting a certain type of book based on the title, then you're going to be disappointed.

This is a tale of the boogeymen that lurk in the publishing industry and what skills you need to make it to the top. It packs lots into its short page count, there's some pretty nasty imagery and the ending is just straight up horror. Well worth reading
