What to expect

For readers of Nightbitch and We Ride Upon Sticks, this strange and sexy novel of queer love in a small town is an unsettling reminder that the horrors of modern life is a monster ready to possess us all.

Angelina Sicco was born and raised in Cadenze, an ugly little mountain town that's dead most of the year. Determined to be content with her lot in life, she walks her mongrel dog, attends her brother's heavy metal concerts, holds court in the local dive bar, and does everything she can to bait hot, queer women to her sleepy, conservative hometown. But on the night of a family party, Angelina runs into the sternly handsome Jagvi, who's back in town for a spell. 

Upon Jagvi's arrival, an ancient evil is awakened, and a monstrous force infiltrates Angelina's life. Only Jagvi’s touch repels it — the final trigger for a secret, passionate romance. This monster feasts on all the messy bits that naje up a life, and Angelina Sicco’s life has never looked tastier. What will Angelina do to protect her future–and at what cost?

Critics Review

"A love story both modern and timeless, Feast While You Can is also the one-that-got-away horror fable of your dreams. I fell so hard for this family and the spirited loyalty they have for one another. What a delicious, original, dark-and-stormy-night of a novel."—Amy Jo Burns, author of Mercury
"This book takes a bold and seemingly effortless swing for the fences of literary horror: beautiful, greedy and terrifying, it makes an intimate home for itself right alongside your bones. Add to that the vividly realised characters and setting, and a queer romance full of yearning and heat, and you get a unique story that I'll be thinking about forever."—Freya Marske, internationally bestselling author of A Marvellous Light
"Feast While You Can is a truly monstrous romance, by turns alluring and appalling, sexy and grotesque, kinky and transportive. It's Call Me By Your Name meets Stephen King's It, for lesbians. It threw me against the wall and I loved it."—Julia Armfield, author of Our Wives Under the Sea and Private Rites
"FEAST WHILE YOU CAN is a singingly clever and gnarly tale of hunger and possession. Lesbian pulp meets literary horror--truly unlike anything else. The sexiest book you'll read this year!"—Yael van der Wouden, author of The Safekeep
"An erotic, feral masterpiece that straddles the imagined borders between lust and horror, crafting a new kind of folklore that taps into the very essence of desire. Impossible to put down, but you must try--because a literary feast like this should be enjoyed slowly."—Jennifer Neal, author of Notes on Her Color
“Feast While You Can has the delicious compulsion of a thriller and all the lush prose and tenderness of a love story. I devoured it and it will devour you.”—Sarvat Hasin, author of The Giant Dark
PRAISE FOR THE VIEW WAS EXHAUSTING

"A perfect summer read."—Vogue
“The View Was Exhausting is a pure delight! Effortlessly cool, razor sharp, and crazy fun—I couldn’t put it down. It is Notting Hill for 2021, an absolute crowd pleaser.”—Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Daisy Jones & The Six

"An absolutely stellar debut with tension that crackles and prose that sings, The View Was Exhausting is the complex, Hollywood love story we've all been waiting for. Clements and Datta have crafted a book that's as heartfelt and earnest as it is sharp and surprising--I couldn't get enough."

—Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author of People We Meet on Vacation

“I read it all in one morning and couldn't put it down once, which frankly was of huge disadvantage to me because I had work to do. The View Was Exhausting is enormously sophisticated, tension held like a net, as it slowly holds the reader closer and closer to a fire, and I laughed many times. It’s an absolute tour de force, and Win is now one of my new favorite protagonists ever.“
