Praise for this book
"An immaculately constructed transgressive thriller (fans of Palahniuk will rejoice) . . . The Appetite Factory was my favorite book of the year." -Gabriel Hart, LitReactor
"The Appetite Factory is a brilliant satire that draws a bulls-eye on multiple targets--mindless consumption, outrage culture, corporate dystopia, the post-truth era--and then hits each one with deadly accuracy. The fact that it's so well-written on top of that elevates it to must-read status." --Rob Hart, author of The Paradox Hotel
"Cautionary tale? Satire? An unflinching look at the ways we manipulate each other? All of the above. If Chuck Palahniuk and Irvine Welsh had a baby--after watching Mad Men, Swallow, and Secretary--it might look something like this." --Richard Thomas, author of Spontaneous Human Combustion
"The Appetite Factory lays bare the cynicism of modern media damage control, where any disaster can be spun to someone's advantage, and Jon Gingerich does it all with scalpel-sharp prose and searing wit." --Craig Clevenger, author of The Contortionist's Handbook
