'We Eat Our Own' writer wants to see 'how dark I can take it'

Hosted by and

Kea Wilson’s debut novel, We Eat Our Own, is inspired by the 1980 Italian film Cannibal Holocaust. The movie’s depiction of brutal violence and cannibalism in the Amazon was so realistic that the director was arrested for obscenity and charged with making a snuff film. But it was the second highest grossing film in Japan that year, behind E.T.
