Effortlessly combining the supernatural and the historical, The Hunger is an eerie, thrilling look at the volatility of human nature, pushed to its breaking. That is the only way to explain the series of misfortunes that have plagued the wagon train known as the Donner Party. I pretty recently read “The Best Land Under Heaven,” which is a nonfiction account of the Donner party (excellent book, but incredibly sad.obviously), and maybe the freshness of it is just making me too sensitive, but part of me feels that using these real people, their real names, isn’t good.

I really found that the majority of the characters were written in such a negative way - it’s not even as if they’re just flawed people, they’re mostly all unpleasant in one way or another. Alma Katsu, the author behind historical horror novels The Hunger and The Deep, is traveling to the World War II era for her next book. I really wanted to love it, and I definitely liked some aspects of it, but ultimately feel like it fell pretty flat. I’m having a quite difficult time figuring out my feelings about this book. There may be spoilers ahead so if you are planning on reading this book, perhaps turn back. Hello! I just finished reading and would love to hear some other perspectives - I searched for any threads about this book, but they were quite old. ![]()
