📝 Description: Forty Hands of Night: Fruit of The Deceiver Book Two: The Pale Horseman
In the year 1201, in the midst of the worst famine in recorded history, the adults of Egypt waged a war of extermination upon its children. Nearly every child of one of the wealthiest and militarily secure nations on earth, was hunted, captured, killed, and then eaten, by strangers, parents, and grandparents. Though the poor had nothing else to eat but their young and their dead, the wealthy engaged in child-eating-as well as the gourmet preparation of overweight people-as a culinary art. The travelling doctor, Abd al-Latif, left a detailed, yet reluctant, account of this year of grisly feasting. Forty Hands of Night is the conclusion of his story.

LaFond delivers a chilling conclusion to Abd al-Latif’s account, emphasizing the terrifying plausibility of cannibalism among the elite during the 1201 famine. The tone is relentlessly bleak, focusing on the gourmet preparation of human flesh as a symbol of ultimate corruption. This work suits readers who prefer intellectual horror over jump scares, offering a disturbing commentary on wealth and power in the face of extinction. It is a heavy, atmospheric read that demands patience but rewards with profound unease.
