  “Sara Tantlinger’s To Be Devoured capitalizes on our macabre preoccupation
  with the uglier side of nature, with love that topples into obsession, and
  with madness that is strangely beautiful in its barbarity. Her writing is
  equivalent to those unremitting avian beings her protagonist is so enamored
  of: It will hook its talons through your flesh, sink its neck into the
  ribboned edges of your wounds, and only relinquish your blighted body when it
  has swallowed your very soul.”
