A few selections from last week's Edible Books Festival, including our winner of the Golden Spatula: a cake dressed up as a Victorian poisonous green book, a shade created by combining copper and arsenic (by the Victorians). Also featured are The Works of John Locke and Bookfish. #historysky

Cover of "Gothic Incest: Gender, Sexuality and Transgression" by Jenny DiPlacidi. Features a vintage illustration of a woman in a flowing dress and evokes a mysterious, gothic tone. A 5-star rating and a Polaroid photo of two people on a wooden porch with trees in the background are also visible.

Cover of a manga adaptation of "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens. Three characters are seated on a red sofa, surrounded by ornate decor. An emoji and star rating suggest a positive review. The tone appears whimsical and adventurous.

A book cover features a red raised fist with black outlines. Above it, five stars are displayed. To the left, a meme with a self-aware theme. A lightbulb icon is at the bottom, with "fable" text. The mood is reflective and empowering.

Book cover of "The Sadeian Woman" by Angela Carter featuring four pairs of legs in heels. Background is a purple-orange gradient with five stars, a pride-themed sticker, and a flexing arm emoji, conveying empowerment.

Julien Mayfair, Michael Curry and Lestat de Lioncourt, the lengths I go for you.

I mean I cannot exactly complain you make it well worth the trouble, but nonetheless…
