As featured in The New York Times Book Review Summer Reading Issue"e;Supernatural suspense at its finest...The best thing about The Hunger is that it will scare the pants off you."e;--The New York Times Book Review "e;Deeply, deeply disturbing, hard to put down, not recommended reading after dark."e;--Stephen KingA tense and gripping reimagining of one of America's most fascinating historical moments: the Donner Party with a supernatural twist.Evil is invisible, and it is everywhere. That is the only way to explain the series of misfortunes that have plagued the wagon train known as the Donner Party. Depleted rations, bitter quarrels, and the mysterious death of a little boy have driven the isolated travelers to the brink of madness. Though they dream of what awaits them in the West, long-buried secrets begin to emerge, and dissent among them escalates to the point of murder and chaos. They cannot seem to escape tragedy...or the feelings that someone--or something--is stalking them. Whether it's a curse from the beautiful Tamsen Donner (who some think might be a witch), their ill-advised choice of route through uncharted terrain, or just plain bad luck, the ninety men, women, and children of the Donner Party are heading into one of one of the deadliest and most disastrous Western adventures in American history. As members of the group begin to disappear, the survivors start to wonder if there really is something disturbing, and hungry, waiting for them in the mountains...and whether the evil that has unfolded around them may have in fact been growing within them all along.Effortlessly combining the supernatural and the historical, The Hunger is an eerie, thrilling look at the volatility of human nature, pushed to its breaking point.

"Deeply, deeply disturbing, hard to put down, not recommended reading after dark." As the survivors turn against each other, a few begin to realise that the threat they face reaches beyond the fury of the natural elements, to something more primal and far more deadly.

Etwas Übernatürliches sucht die Titanic heim. Das ist die einzige Erklärung für die unheimlichen Ereignisse auf der Jungfernfahrt des Ozeandampfers. Viele der Passagiere sind überzeugt: Es ist etwas Jenseitiges an Bord. Doch bevor man mehr herausfinden kann, geschieht, wie man weiß, die wahre Katastrophe. Vier Jahre später, der Erste Weltkrieg hat begonnen, versucht Annie Hebbley, die jene schicksalhafte Nacht überlebt hat, ihr Leben wieder in den Griff zu bekommen. Sie dient als Krankenpflegerin auf dem Schwesternschiff der Titanic, der Britannic, die gerade zum Lazarettschiff umgerüstet wurde. Verfolgt von den Albträumen der ersten Reise, stößt Annie unter den Patienten auf einen bewusstlosen Soldaten. Sie erkennt den jungen Mark Fletcher. Er war ebenfalls auf der Titanic. Aber sie ist sich sicher, dass er den Untergang nicht überlebt hat ... Alma Katsu verwebt die wahren Schicksale der beiden berühmten Schiffe zu einer erschreckenden Geistergeschichte. Phänomenal. C. J. Tudor: »Durch und durch fesselnd und absolut erschreckend.« Daily Mirror: »Der Roman verknüpft Psychothriller und unheimliche Geistergeschichte zu einem wahrhaft gespenstischen Werk.«
