"Extraordinary. A dark, sensuous, gothic story of female appetite, ravenous desire and insatiable rage. A blood-drenched, glittering, jewel of a novel." --Jennifer Saint, author of Ariadne and Atalanta "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 "An intoxicating and vivid take on the gothic novel. Sensual and vicious, Lenore's devastating story of self-discovery, betrayal and power feels like one for the ages.
" --Hannah Kaner, author of Godkiller " Hungerstone writhes 'like a box of live snakes,' with the exquisite torment of need. A fever dream of female desire. Kat Dunn brings vital style and a dangerous pulse to queer gothic fiction in this infectious, utterly gorgeous tale of awakening." --Margot Douaihy, USA Today bestselling author of Scorched Grace and Blessed Water "Utterly captivating. 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. A book that will upend your expectations of the genre and leave you wanting more." --Elodie Harper, author of The Wolf Den "A dream of a Gothic.
Combines all the best of Carmilla and would make Edgar Allan Poe jealous. Reading Kat Dunn is like finding treasure." --Sarah Rees Brennan, USA Today bestselling author of Long Live Evil "Kat Dunn repaints the classic story of Carmilla in the boldest, bloodiest colors. Hungerstone is decadent, brilliant, triumphant and I devoured it." --Sarah Underwood, author of Lies We Sing to the Sea "A sumptuous delight, Hungerstone combines gothic thrills with a feminist exploration of what it means to become estranged from our desires, and what it might mean if we let ourselves be whole. I feasted on it." --Jessica Moor, author of The Keeper "Deliciously dark and atmospheric, Hungerstone throbs with the taste of the forbidden. This is a novel that asks what might happen when we reach for those places inside ourselves previously kept under lock and key.
Dunn's Carmilla is as alive and alluring today as Le Fanu's was in 1872. --Emily Critchley, author of One Puzzling Afternoon.
