Can you recommend a short story about a woman, murder and cannibalism?
I'm not sure if there is a single very popular short story specifically titled exactly with all these elements together. However, in some horror short stories, you might find a woman character who commits murder and has elements of cannibalism. For example, in some indie horror anthologies, there could be stories where a deranged woman, perhaps driven mad by some supernatural force or a traumatic past, starts killing people and then engages in some form of abnormal behavior that could be seen as cannibalistic. But it's not easy to name one off - hand that is extremely well - known in mainstream literature.
One well - known short story that involves themes of a woman, murder and cannibalism is 'The Yellow Wallpaper' by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, though it's more subtly related. The narrator, a woman, descends into a kind of mental 'murder' of her own self - identity due to the oppressive environment she is in. There is also a sense of her being 'consumed' or cannibalized by the society's expectations of her. Another could be some of the works inspired by the real - life case of Elizabeth Bathory, who was a noblewoman accused of murdering young girls and bathing in their blood, which has been fictionalized in various short stories with elements of a woman, murder and the grotesque form of 'cannibalism' (in a metaphorical sense of consuming the life essence of others).
Are there any short stories where a woman is involved in murder and cannibalism for revenge?
Yes, in some horror and dark - themed short stories this can be found. A woman who has been wronged in a very severe way, like being raped or having her family brutally killed, might turn to murder and in some extreme cases, cannibalism as a form of revenge. For example, in certain underground horror fiction, a woman might target the men who wronged her. She kills them and then, in a fit of rage and insanity, might engage in cannibalistic acts to completely destroy and 'consume' the ones who hurt her. This is often used to show the extreme consequences of trauma and the human psyche pushed to the brink.
