Bad Appetites

Author's Enhanced Edition

By: Jon Athan

Narrated by: Cora Blouch

Cindy Moore, a morbidly obese woman with serious self-esteem issues, has struggled to lose weight for years. Hours of exercise and a nutritious but inconsistent diet have only led to disappointment and depression. On the verge of giving up on everything, her life takes a drastic turn when she discovers a ‘miracle’ diet pill that allows her to lose weight without dieting or exercising.

The pills, however, come with disturbing side effects, including dangerous changes to her body, mind, and appetite. Her insatiable hunger for more—more success, more love, more food—brings her to the deepest depths of depravity.

Jon Athan, the author of Dead Body Disposal and Lovesick, mixes grotesque body horror and pure psychological terror to deliver a skin-crawling, stomach-churning experience.

Rewritten and re-edited from the ground up, the 2022 Author’s Enhanced Edition of this book is an uncut, extended version of the original story. It is the definitive Bad Appetites experience.

WARNING: This book contains graphic content. Listener discretion is advised.

A great intro book to one of my favorite horror authors

A shocking and disturbing book, more palatable for those new to extreme horror though. I have recommended to some friends who are new to the genre. I love Jon Athans books

No diet pills for me

This is gore, very twisted and grotesque. Always listen to the doctor when you get your prescription.

I really enjoyed this book

Looking at the cover and title of the book, you wouldn’t predict what the book is really about. I totally got Tales From the Crypt vibes from this book, in a totally awesome way. I related to this book particularly because at one point in my life I got up to 286 pounds, and I could really relate to how shitty it felt and what I was willing to do to lose it. Today I am 140 lbs and feel great. Although I don’t share the woe is me and super jealous characteristics of the protagonist. She is a very whiny and super vain person, but all of that really makes the book better in this case. If you ever read or listened to The Troop by Nick Cutter, this book gives those vibes. Like I kept thinking, if The Troop had a sequel where the magical diet pills were actually created, this is where it could pick up. Anyways, I definitely suggest giving the book a listen to! It was fun and one of my favs of Jon Atans so far. The narrator did a fantastic job! Don’t sleep on this one

Narration from Miss Cora is wonderful

Fantastic author, imaginative narrator, leaves you wanting more. Great read and very impressive. Loved it.

The Was awesome, gruesome, read Cindy overweight and basically hates everyone Who is thinner than her. Shes' pretty narcissistic and i really didn't like her, although, I know that we're, not supposed to she take a flesh-eating diet pill
