- STEPHEN KING,
Katsu adds a rich vein of horror to her imaginative retelling . . . astonishingly atmospheric, with a strong sense of claustrophobia, despite the vast prairies and mountains . . . this is an enthralling and chilling read.
- Laura Wilson, GUARDIAN
Uneasy, nauseous, slow-burning tale that marries historical fiction with a hint of the supernatural. Great detailing; colourful characterization; some supremely ominous stuff, but always reined in at the final moment to rack up the tension even more. Loved it!
- JOANNE HARRIS, author of Chocolat,
This . . . is supernatural suspense at its finest. It is strangely ethereal, yet gritty, with one eye on the distant skyline and the other on the bloody journey. If historical novels are your thing<i>,</i> <i>The Hunger</i> delivers a believable, fully realized 19th-century America. But the best thing about <i>The Hunger</i> is that it will scare the pants off you.
- Danielle Trussoni, NEW YORK TIMES
An absorbing thriller that had me digging into the history behind this tale as soon as I’d read the last page . . . Her descriptions of the land are movingly beautiful, but there is danger even here.
