What with the recent mini-longpig(leg in smoker) thread I ought to mention Dan Simmon's latest opus, The Terror; his imagining of the 1845 Sir John Franklin expedition to force the NorthWest Passage. Cannibalism doesn't appear until late(and boy does it appear!), however there's plenty of botched
canned goods, ship's biscuits, saltpork, and seal blubber to go 'round. Not to mention scurvy. It's not his most entertaining novel, but if you have the endurance it's extremely rewarding and remarkably tight.

also, honorable mention goes to Jeff Long's recently-published sequel to The Descent(one of my favorite "horror" novels of the past half decade), Deeper...it's main worth rests upon invoking the grue of it's priors, but cannibalism plays a nasty bit, if darkly-humorous, anecdotally, in a later passage
