Meat by Nick Burgin

Lila has always been obsessed with the texture of flesh. From peeling her own sunburned skin as a child to feverishly pleasuring herself to body horror films and real snuff, she craves the moment the body becomes nothing but flesh. Nothing but... meat. At twenty-four, she discovers Sampled, a dark web site where people willingly sell pieces of themselves to be consumed by strangers. What begins as small, ritualistic offerings - a slice from her buttock, a strip of thigh, a coin of belly - quickly escalates. Each wound heals into a scar she worships. Each video of buyers moaning in ecstasy while eating her drives her deeper into obsession. She begins to refuse anaesthetic, wanting to feel every exquisite cut of the knife. She offers a nipple, then toes, then fingers. Her body becomes a living map of surrender. The money means nothing. The worship is everything. After a traumatic encounter leaves her unwillingly scarred, Lila makes her final listing: complete consumption at a private banquet. Twenty-two elite guests gather in a mirrored hall as she is laid out like the main course.  Can she really go through with it, or does even Lila have her limits? Meat is a visceral, transgressive erotic body horror about the ultimate surrender of self - where pain, desire, and consumption blur into a singular, horrifying ecstasy.
