I first noticed it in December while reading the submitted stories from the second half of November: mostly I noticed that there were a bunch of stories about rape and murder and various kinds of nonconsensual sex, but there was also a smaller run of stories featuring (various forms of) cannibalism.<\/p>\n<p>They were submitted a couple of weeks <em>before<\/em> the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dw-world.de\/english\/0,3367,1430_A_714339_1_A,00.html\">German cannibalism case<\/a>, so they weren't a reaction to that.  And I just read a rather good but rather unpleasant Mat Coward story in the 9\/02 issue of <cite>Interzone<\/cite> that features cannibalism, and that was presumably written a minimum of seven or eight months ago.<\/p>\n<p>It might just be another coincidence; that happens now and then, with a rash of unicorn stories or selkie stories or stories featuring Hitler or Stalin or whatever.  And I haven't heard about a cannibalism anthology.  But I'm curious about whether there is one.  Not, mind you, that I particularly want to read it if so.  (I have nothing against cannibalism stories per se; just not a big fan of them in general, and don't have any particular interest in reading a bunch of them at once.)<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is there a cannibalism sf anthology coming out soon?
