Book review of House of Hunger by Alexis Henderson @alexhwrites. A deliciously horrific sapphic tale.
It’s been a while since I have devoured a book as quickly as Alexis Henderson’s House of Hunger (pun very intended). I was gripped from the first few pages and never lost my fervour as it went along.
