Man Eater, the forthcoming novel by Ally Wilkes, is scheduled for release by Atria Books in January.
The work, which was a finalist for the Bram Stoker Award, is described as a blood‑soaked tale of greed and vengeance.
Set in 1901, the story follows an ambitious young female botanist who joins a group of British orchid hunters on an expedition into the Brazilian jungle.
The novel’s premise combines historical adventure with horror elements, positioning it as a notable entry in Wilkes’s growing bibliography.
