A fight with the food industry turns deadly.

Jeremy, a lonely and obese teenager, shoots into the limelight when a headstrong public health nurse persuades him to sue the food industry. Tossed into a storm of media buzz and bullying, the teen draws the attention of a deranged killer, one who’s targeting the obese. Soon the boy, the nurse, and their loved ones take center stage in a delusional man’s drama.

Carrie Rubin at Conversation Corner (online interview)

“Bullied and pummeled just because of the heavy burden his waistline carries, Jeremy and a tough public health nurse take on the giants of junk food, drawing Darwin to them as surely as a wasp. And so the murdering begins. A fast-paced thriller with a climax that nails it.”

Frederick Anderson

Author of I Am Cara, The Butterfly Man, and Hallbury Summer

“Rubin is a masterful storyteller who weaves her medical knowledge into a gripping thriller, diving head-first into a meaty subject that has been ignored for far too long. Eating Bull paints a disturbing portrait of a society in denial and delivers characters that get under your skin and stay there.”

Dianne Gray

Award-winning Australian author of Soul’s Child and The Everything Theory

“A solid thriller that manages to infuse one boy’s coming-of-age with a whole lot of murder.”
Kirkus Reviews

“Carrie Rubin tackles obesity, fat-shaming, and bullying in this unique and original psychological thriller certain to keep you thinking long after you’ve finished reading.”

Maddie Cochere

Author of the Susan Hunter and Two Sisters and a Journalist cozy mystery series

“The one-of-a-kind plot is accompanied by beautiful character depth and background writing…Carrie Rubin is a talented writer and I can’t wait to read what she thinks of next.
