Line 89:
* ''[[The War Against the Chtorr]]'' series has an invading alien ecology [[Terraform|transforming Earth]] into a world where humanity will not only serve as food, [[Eat the Dog|but will welcome it]].
* In David Weber and Steve White's ''In Death Ground'' (a novel based on the ''Starfire'' tabletop wargame), on every human-colonized planet the Arachnids take over, they eat the locals.
* The Martians in [[H. G. Wells]]' ''[[The War of the Worlds (novel)|The War of the Worlds]]''
* They actually have the cookbook in real life, inspired by the [[Twilight Zone]] episode.
* This trope is one of the main themes in Michel Faber's ''Under The Skin''. The book plays with the reader's perceptions as {{spoiler|the aliens call themselves "humans" and refer to Earthlings as "vodsels". The protagonist's job is to pick up human hitchhikers while disguised as a voluptuous human female, and deliver the meat to a farm to be processed and sent to the home planet for the rich to eat as a delicacy.}}
Line 98:
* In the ''[[Goosebumps]]'' book ''Attack Of The Jack-O'-Lanters'', people are reported as missing around Halloween in a fairly background event. The protagonists meet two new friends who help them scare a couple of bullies, and aren't particularely phased when the duo turn out to be aliens. As they escort them back to their spaceship, the aliens reveal that [[Cruel Twist Ending|they ate all those people and that they will continue to return to Earth to do exactly that, before taking off in their spaceship]].
* In Robert Asprin's ''[[Myth Adventures|Myth-Nomers and Im-Pervections]]'', Skeeve is in disguise in a Pervish restaurant and asks for "something from [his home dimension of] Klah", and is brought what appears to be an entire cooked Klahd/human; it turns out it's a fake constructed out of other kinds of meat.
