Seeing that featured in The New York Times Book Review Summer season Reading Issue

‘Supernatural suspense at its finest…A very important thing about The Hunger is that it will scare the pants off you.’–The NY Times Book Review

‘Deeply, deeply disturbing, hard to put down, not suggested reading after dark.’–Stephen King

A tense and gripping reimagining of one of America’s most amazing historical occasions: the Donner Party with a supernatural twist.

Evil is invisible, and it is everywhere.

That about The Hunger may be the only way to describe the series of misfortunes that have plagued the wagon train known as the Donner Party. Depleted rations, bitter quarrels, as well as the secret death of just a little young man have driven the isolated travelers to the brink of madness. Though they imagine what awaits them in the West, long-buried secrets begin to emerge, and dissent included in this escalates to the point of murder and chaos. They cannot seem to get away tragedy…or the feelings that someone–or something–is stalking them. Be it a curse from the stunning Tamsen Donner (who some think may be a witch), their ill-advised choice of path through uncharted landscape, or just plain misfortune, the ninety men, women, and children of the Donner Party are proceeding into one of one of the deadliest & most disastrous Western journeys in American history.

As people of the group begin to disappear, the survivors start to wonder if there really is something disturbing, and hungry, waiting for them in the mountains…and if the evil that has unfolded around them may have in fact been developing within them all along.

Easily combining the supernatural as well as the historical, The Food cravings can be an eerie, thrilling look at the volatility of human nature, pushed to its breaking point.
