Jenny Will Eat You Now

Om boken

Sometimes you just want to eat the one you love...right?

Jenny Greenteeth has watched civilizations fall and wars break out during her lifetime. Preferring to keep her own company, she has been living in Boston for the last few hundred years - currently, in an abandoned subway station. Here, she has access to the waterways, an interconnected subterranean system that allows her to travel around the globe. With a conviction that she is far superior to humans - who are petty, dangerous, and fragile - she has no qualms about satisfying her hunger with their flesh. That is, until she comes face to face with a human man who, for the first time, she doesn't want to eat (but also...she kind of does). Confused by these conflicting feelings, Jenny is intrigued.

So, when two other cryptids take up residence in her station - a satyr and a selkie - she (begrudgingly) asks them to help her find this mystery man in exchange for safe passage through her waterways. Together, they embark on a quest to track him down. On the way, Jenny experiences the modern world - discovering catcalling, pigeons, protests, fashion, friendship, and...Dunkin Donuts. On her journey to find the man that she couldn't eat at first sight, Jenny goes on an unexpected deep dive into what it means to be human and to fall in love.
