In A Feast Unknown, did you enjoy ...

... a relentless, mission-driven adventure?

The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester

If you loved the breakneck, goal-focused narrative of Richard Burton’s hunt for his rival in A Feast Unknown, you’ll be drawn into Gully Foyle’s obsessive and violent quest for revenge in The Stars My Destination. Both novels keep you hooked with protagonists who will stop at nothing to achieve their objectives, resulting in a wild, relentless ride.

... morally conflicted, disturbing protagonists?

The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks

If the ambiguous morality and deeply flawed anti-heroes of A Feast Unknown spoke to you, The Wasp Factory will grip you with Frank Cauldhame’s unsettling choices and twisted worldview. Both books invite you to inhabit the minds of protagonists who toe the line between villain and hero, challenging your sympathies and expectations.

... unflinching depictions of violence and depravity?

American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis

If you were fascinated (or shocked) by the unapologetically graphic violence in A Feast Unknown, American Psycho offers a similarly explicit, transgressive journey into the mind of Patrick Bateman. Both novels confront you with scenes that are as disturbing as they are memorable, refusing to shy away from the darkest corners of human nature.

... dark, subversive humor in bleak circumstances?

Catch-22 by Joseph Heller

If the pitch-black humor and satirical edge of A Feast Unknown appealed to you, Catch-22 delivers an unforgettable blend of absurdity and grimness. The ridiculousness of Yossarian’s world and the skewering of war and bureaucracy echo the sardonic, often shocking wit found in Farmer’s novel.

... complex, twisting plots with layers of intrigue?

The Anubis Gates by Tim Powers

If you enjoyed the intricate, multi-threaded storytelling and constant twists of A Feast Unknown, The Anubis Gates will keep you enthralled with its labyrinthine plot. Brendan Doyle’s time-hopping adventures are packed with surprises, shifting alliances, and revelations that reward close attention.
