‘Supernatural suspense at its finest…The best thing about The Hunger is that it will scare the pants off you.’–The New York Times Book Review

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

Bad is invisible, and it is everywhere.

That about The Hunger is the only way to describe the series of misfortunes which have plagued the wagon teach referred to as the Donner Party. Depleted rations, bitter quarrels, and the mysterious death of just a little guy have powered the isolated travelers to the brink of madness. Though they dream of what awaits them in the Western world, long-buried secrets start to emerge, and dissent included in this escalates to the point of murder and chaos. They cannot seem to escape tragedy…or the feelings that someone–or something–is stalking them. Be it a curse from the stunning Tamsen Donner (who some believe may be a witch), their ill-advised selection of route through uncharted surfaces, or just simple bad luck, the ninety men, women, and kids from the Donner Party are proceeding into one of among the deadliest and most disastrous Western journeys in American history.

As associates of the group start to disappear, the survivors start to wonder if there really is something disturbing, and hungry, looking forward to them in the mountains…and if the evil which has unfolded around them may have in fact been growing within them all along.

Easily combining the supernatural and the historical, The Hunger can be an eerie, thrilling go through the volatility of human nature, pushed to its breaking point.
