Instintos Caníbales o 12 Dias (Unfinished 2000's Novel)

Instintos Caníbales o 12 Días (English translation Cannibal Instinct or 12 Days) is an unfinished novel by Mexican serial killer and cannibal José Luis Calva (June 20, 1969- December 11, 2007).



He had a very traumatic childhood, his father died when he was 2 years old and his mother brought men to her house which she forced him to call dad. A few years later he was sexually abused by his one of his brother’s friends. His early childhood could have been part of the reason he took the path that he ended up taking.



 He was married however it ended in divorce and his ex-wife moved to the United States with his daughters. I couldn’t find a date for this but he met his wife in 1996.





José Luis Calva was arrested in October of 2007 when investigators went to his home investigating the case of his missing girlfriend Alejandra Galeana who had last been seen on October 6th. When police arrived he was in the middle of a meal consisting of human flesh that he had seasoned with lemon. The police found the body of his girlfriend, mutilated. Also recovered from the scene was human flesh in the refrigerator, cooked human flesh, bones in a cereal box, a picture of Hannibal Lector and the unfinished novel  ''Instintos Caníbales o 12 Días. ''He was charged with two murders however more are suspected. He killed himself in prison.





According to an article online the novel deals with subjects like cannibalism, sex, sadomasochism and coprophagia. The article also states that there may have been more texts (Including poetry and other stories) discovered at the scene however I haven't been able to find other sources for this.



Due to the nature of the texts it is unlikely that they will be released.
