Hunger

'Funny, moving, horrific. Gripping from the first scene to the last' JOE ABERCROMBIE

1776. They're starving in Boston.
Amos Crowe - a wounded British soldier seemingly hearing the voices of the dead - is stuck in the bloodied crucible of the American revolution: besieged, frost-bitten Boston.

Now a ravenous ghost has come to feed on the trapped and desperate colonists who remain loyal to the Crown, tempting men with a sumptuous feast of roast meat, pastries, puddings and pies. It's a spread many would sell their souls for...which is exactly the deal on offer.

As the ghoul's withered victims pile up and panic spreads, Crowe is tasked with seeking a mysterious witch, hidden deep behind enemy lines, who is rumoured to hold the key to defeating the evil spirit. Dodging rebels hellbent on his murder, battling savagery both human and supernatural, how can one broken man possibly survive - and what will remain of him if he does?
