It has cannibalism, rape, incest, and torture, and it has them in abundance. The attraction of this book however, is not its historical accuracy it is the scenes of brutal violence and perversity.
The story of Sawney Bean is probably just a legend, and Morse doesn’t stray far from the usual account.
Historical fiction is not something that interests me, and if I had known this was based on a “true story”, I might have been deterred.
It’s based on Sawney Bean, a legendary Scottish cannibal. I’m pretty happy that I knew nothing about this book before I started it. I found a copy recently and devoured it in two sittings. I didn’t actually read the review, but the title alone was enough for me to put it on my to-read list.

This horrifying tale of nightmare-inducing monsters-inspired by true events-comes into stark reality in THE FLESH EATERS, an imaginative novel by Edgar Award winning author L.A. There’s little the community can do but be hunted. We eat our fill,” they chant as they descend upon their prey. Just eight miles east of the modern city of Edinburgh, Sawney Bean and his murderous family prowled the Scottish coasts, robbing travelers and consuming their victims. The first half of the fifteenth century saw savagery and fear that erased the line between man and beast. It sounds like the horrors of prehistoric savages, but it falls well within recorded history of civilized men. Huge, terrifying clans roaming the moors, seeking out human flesh to rend and consume.
