Tender Is the Flesh

Book Overview

Animal meat turns poisonous, and factories breed and butcher humans rebranded as special meat. Marcos Tejo runs a processing plant, numbed by routine and the death of his infant son, until a powerful client gifts him a premium female. He breaks protocol, keeps her alive, names her Jasmine, and hides her in his home. As their forbidden bond grows, Marcos faces the machinery that pays him and the rot it feeds into every ritual of daily life. His choice jeopardizes his job, his safety, and the last intact piece of his conscience, forcing him to test what his humanity is worth in a culture that normalizes cruelty.
