That is, in some ways perhaps, more frightening. Here's a story idea. Some desperate person resorts to cannibalism, survives, thinks that he has not turned into an ogre, realises that he enjoyed human flesh and did not turn into a monster. Continued eating human flesh even when he did not need to. Thinks that he has not turned into a monster. He has turned into a monster.
