FOR WHAT DO YOU HUNGER . . . ?
Lenore is the wife of steel magnate Henry, but ten years into their marriage the relationship has soured, and no child has arrived to fill the distance growing between them. Henry's ambitions take them from London to the Peak District, to the remote, imposing Nethershaw estate, where he plans to host a hunting party. Lenore must work to restore the crumbling house and ready it for Henry's guests - their future depends on it.
But as the couple travel through the bleak countryside, a shocking carriage accident brings the mysterious Carmilla into Lenore's life. Carmilla, who is weak and pale during the day but vibrant at night, Carmilla who stirs up something deep within Lenore. And before long, girls from the local villages fall sick, consumed by a terrible hunger . . .
As the day of the hunt draws closer, Lenore begins to unravel, questioning the role she has been playing all these years. Torn between regaining her husband's affection and the cravings Carmilla has awakened, soon Lenore will uncover a darkness in her household that will place her at terrible risk . . .
Set against the violent wilderness of the Peaks and the uncontrolled appetite of the Industrial Revolution, HUNGERSTONE is a compulsive sapphic reworking of CARMILLA, the book that inspired DRACULA: a captivating story of appetite and desire.
Everyone is devouring HUNGERSTONE . . .
'Hungerstone grabbed me body and soul' Anya Bergman
'A fabulous Gothic feast of a novel' Elodie Harper
'A sumptuous delight. I feasted on it' Jessica Moor
'Repaints the classic story of Carmilla in the boldest, bloodiest colours' Sarah Underwood
'A dark, gothic delight' Hester Musson
'Deliciously dark and atmospheric. Breathtakingly original' Emily Critchley
"A true feast for all the senses." - Cosmopolitan
"This atmospheric gothic novel should only be read with the lights on." - Red magazine
"Based on the book that inspired Dracula, this is a beguiling and spellbinding story of female repression and appetite." - Heat magazine
"A rich and daring reimagining that brings the beating heart of Carmilla to life again. Hungerstone is a delicious tribute to the inherent horrors of womanhood and the desperate and exquisite vulgarity of desire. This is everything I dream of in a novel." - Ava Reid, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Lady Macbeth
"Phenomenal. This is a book about loneliness and longing, women trapped by the constraints of patriachy, the liberating power of sapphic desire - and most of all, hunger of all kinds. Kat Dunn writes with immense skill and tremendous empathy." - Samantha Shannon
"Hungerstone is an extraordinary book: a dark, sensuous, gothic story of female appetite, ravenous desire and insatiable rage. A blood-drenched, glittering jewel of a novel that I absolutely devoured." - Jennifer Saint
"HUNGERSTONE grabbed me body and soul. From the first page, I was bewitched by its heady mix of danger and desire. HUNGERSTONE brims with passion, longing and authenticity evoking the feminist struggle for agency within patriarchal Victorian constructs. Gothic, sensual, and captivating, I could not put it down." - Anya Bergman, international bestselling author of The Witches of Vardo
"A fabulous Gothic feast of a novel which is so gripping I genuinely struggled to put it down. This book has everything - a compulsive plot, fascinating characters, and a world so dark and atmospheric it makes the real one look drab. It is billed as a sapphic vampire novel but is so much richer and stranger than this. Lenore is one of the most compelling and morally complex characters I have encountered in recent years, and the evil Kat Dunn describes in the human world was brilliantly portrayed, acting as a dizzying foil to the darkness of the Vampire realm. It is a book which will upend your expectations of the genre and leave you wanting more. I was so sad to reach the last page!" - Elodie Harper, bestselling author of THE WOLF DEN
