What began as a brave and bold adventure has become a nightmare. They had hoped to cross the mountains before the weather changed but now they're trapped. And they must confront each other...and a threat that reaches beyond the fury of the elements - something far more primal and deadly.

Deeply, deeply disturbing.
*STEPHEN KING*
Katsu adds a rich vein of horror to her imaginative retelling . . .
astonishingly atmospheric, with a strong sense of claustrophobia,
despite the vast prairies and mountains . . . this is an
enthralling and chilling read.
*GUARDIAN*
Uneasy, nauseous, slow-burning tale that marries historical fiction
with a hint of the supernatural. Great detailing; colourful
characterization; some supremely ominous stuff, but always reined
in at the final moment to rack up the tension even more. Loved
it!
*JOANNE HARRIS, author of Chocolat*
This . . . is supernatural suspense at its finest. It is strangely
ethereal, yet gritty, with one eye on the distant skyline and the
other on the bloody journey. If historical novels are your thing,
The Hunger delivers a believable, fully realized 19th-century
America. But the best thing about The Hunger is that it will scare
the pants off you.
*NEW YORK TIMES*
An absorbing thriller that had me digging into the history behind
this tale as soon as I’d read the last page . . . Her descriptions
of the land are movingly beautiful, but there is danger even
here.
