This chapter looks at the libertine endocannibal rite of communion and suggests that necrophilia and cannibalism are “perversions of power,”: they portray the absolute defeat of the bodies that fuel the libertine alliance. They are an inextricable part of the Sadianite attempt to annihilate difference.

Keywords:   necrophilia, cannibalism, communion, perversions, power, Sadianite, libertine alliance
