Safiya Sinclair
“The word "cannibal," the English variant of the Spanish word canibal, comes from the word caribal, a reference to the native Carib people in the West Indies, who Columbus thought ate human flesh and from whom the word "Caribbean" originated. By virtue of being Caribbean, all "West Indian" people are already, in a purely linguistic sense, born savage.”
Safiya Sinclair, Cannibal

Timothy James Dean
I was on one of my world 'walkabouts.' It had taken me once more through Hong Kong, to Japan, Australia, and then Papua New Guinea in the South Pacific [one of the places I grew up]. There I found the picture of 'the Father.' It was a real, gigantic Saltwater Crocodile (whose picture is now featured on page 1 of TEETH).

From that moment, 'the Father' began to swim through the murky recesses of my mind. Imagine! I thought, men confronting the world鈥檚 largest reptile on its own turf! And what if they were stripped of their firearms, so they must face this force of nature with nothing but hand weapons and wits?

We know that neither whales nor sharks hunt individual humans for weeks on end. But, Dear Reader, crocodiles do! They are intelligent predators that choose their victims and plot their attacks. So, lost on its river, how would our heroes escape a great hunter of the Father鈥檚 magnitude? And what if these modern men must also confront the headhunters and cannibals who truly roam New Guinea?

What of tribal wars, the coming of Christianity and materialism (the phenomenon known as the 'Cargo Cult'), and the people鈥檚 introduction to 'civilization' in the form of world war? What of first contact between pristine tribal culture and the outside world? What about tribal clashes on a global scale鈥攖he hatred and enmity between America and Japan, from Pearl Harbor, to the only use in history of atomic weapons? And if the world could find peace at last, how about Johnny and Katsu?”
Timothy James Dean, Teeth

“What鈥檚 with savage humans always wanting to cannibalize us?鈥� Jaden asks as she runs past Summer to check for any more of the Tainted around the corner.
鈥淭hey want to suck your blood,鈥� Rob says in a Romanian accent.

Laura Kreitzer, Burning Falls

Amy Kuivalainen
“The shiny black nose of a fox appears through her door before the rest of it steps tentatively across the wooden floor to where she鈥檚 cooking. A pile of children鈥檚 clothes lie discarded in a corner of the room. The fox knows what she is cooking and holds back a shudder. There are some things even foxes know better than to eat.”
Amy Kuivalainen, Cry of the Firebird

Holly Black
“Be careful. You might find more than you bargained for in my larder, little goat.'

I open the door of the fridge. The remains of the Folk she's killed greet me. She's collected arms and heads, preserved somehow, baked and broiled and put away just like leftovers after a big holiday dinner.”
Holly Black, The Queen of Nothing

Theodora Kroeber
“Hers was not an easy sleep. Through her dreams there came and went the young girls of her mother鈥檚 stories: girls who had left their little houses against the rules and custom. Some of them were bitten by snakes and died at once; some of them lived long enough to bring shame and sorrow to their families, and then died; and there was the one who cut herself and sucked her own blood and liked the taste so much, she ate more and more of herself, becoming nothing but a head鈥攁 Cannibal Head鈥攚hich devoured her parents and her brothers and sisters and then rolled horribly over the earth with an insatiable need always to eat human flesh, more and more and more.”
Theodora Kroeber, The Inland Whale: Nine Stories Retold from California Indian Legends

“A cannibal is food to another cannibal.”
Tamerlan Kuzgov
