To be honest, the first time I tried to read Modern Cannibals, I was immediately put off by the jittery and hyperactive narration of Z., the PoV character for a good chunk of the book. I'm glad I stuck with it though, because Modern Cannibals is an exemplary work of web fiction — comedic, dark, poignant, transgressive, and surreal, built around a fascinating cast of characters, and written in a deft and entertaining prose that not many fanfic authors manage.
