A rare print purchase; I've given up waiting for her non-fiction (and her other historical fiction) to be digitised. (She wrote the Earl of Moriston Mysteries under the pen name Annabel Laine.)

A pop science book; Tannahill takes as her theme cannibalism through history, and includes vampirism and lycanthropy as both deal with cannibalistic themes. I thought it a bit disorganised and rather anecdotal in style; she would skitter around both geographically and historically within the same chapter, and also discuss the three themes at once.

Recommended with reservations; it could do with a serious re-edit (which it almost certainly will never get - Tannahill died in 2007).

A delicious history about the history of cannibalism. ( )
