As featured in The New York Times Book Review Summer Reading Issue"Supernatural suspense at its finest...The best thing about The Hunger is that it will scare the pants off you."--The New York Times Book Review "Deeply, deeply disturbing, hard to put down, not recommended reading after dark."--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.
The Hunger by Alma Katsu Review
I really, really didn’t enjoy this novel, which took as its basis, the doomed Donner Party of the mid-19th century. The Donner Party was a group of covered wagons which sought to reach California in the 1840s. Getting a late start, the party failed to clear the Sierra Nevada Mountains before the winter snows made passage impossible. Cannibalism ensued; certainly the basis for a potentially captivating novel, potential which is not even remotely realized.The author of this book injects supernatural aspects into the historical record to weave a tale which at times comes across as almost bi-polar. At times, the book reads like a Harlequin romance “bodice ripperâ€, at other it reads like a poor man’s Stephen King novel. At others, it reaches for historical fiction. The result is a mess. Though not a very long book, it read much longer due to the fact that many scenes seemed to repeat themselves over and over again.
I came to this book after watching the fantastic AMC series The Terror, based on one of my favorite books with the same name by Dan Simmons. Both the book and the series were based on an actual historical event with a supernatural spin. The horror aspect was a slow burn that was derived more from the isolated arctic environment and the specter of something (freezing to death, starvation, scurvy, a demon polar bear) looming around the corner than anything else. I saw somewhere that this book should be used as the basis for a future season of that anthology series, so I came in expecting a similar book. The real life story of the Donner party definitely should have laid the groundwork for a great fictional account. I was left utterly disappointed.The book was way too short for a novel of this type. The Terror was around 1000 pages. It gave the story time to unfold and for the horror aspect to build up. This story also needed time. Hardly anything was shown by the writer's words. Instead, we were told what had happened. Don't tell me after the fact, write about it so I can read it and get pulled into the story as if I was a member of the Donner Party.There were way too many flashbacks in the form of letters. It made the timeline a little confusing, but it also caused some of the issues with telling and not showing the reader what was happening or what the characters' motivations were.In a book of this size (370-ish pages), there were way too many points of view. If the book were the size it needed to be (600+ at a minimum), the number would have been fine, but with all the information so condensed and rushed through, I routinely had problems keeping up with all the POVs. There were also too many characters to keep up with. I understand the number of characters was necessary because this was based on a true story with all the characters having really existed in the Donner Party, but this is just one more reason why the book should have been longer. I finished the book knowing next to nothing about most of the characters. A Dramatis Personae at the beginning of the book probably would have been helpful, but better character development to make the characters more memorable would have been even more helpful.Another gripe I had was that all of the characters had the same voice, which was also the same voice as the narration. The rich and sophisticated spoke the same way as the little children and the uneducated adults.I probably should have rated this 1 star, but the concept was interesting, and there are worse books out there. I would not recommend this book to anyone, however, especially if you are looking for horror fiction that really draws you in. This book was more in line with halfway listening in on an adult telling a completely unbelievable campfire story to a bunch of kids.
A big thank you to Glasstown Ent. for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.I'm a huge fan of historical fiction with a paranormal twist. Books like Dan Simmons' The Terror and The Abominable are some of my favorites in the genre, and both have a paranormal threat on top of an already dire situation. When I heard that Katsu was coming out with a book about The Donner Party facing a paranormal entity, I practically squealed in delight. This was a book that I instantly NEEDED.The Hunger is definitely a slow burn. It takes its time letting the reader understand the hardships and perils of moving by wagon train across the country in 1846. Not only that, but Katsu spends ample time with flashbacks that give each character more of a backstory. It seems like most of the pioneers have a secret, and so for many of them risking their lives on the trail is more appealing than living back east with a past that haunts them. California promises a fresh start, so all of the families in the The Donner wagon train are initially optimistic and in good spirits.At some point along the trail Donner becomes the leader of the group, and thus his name is forever associated with one of the most chilling stories in American history. As the group continues west, rations start to disappear and tensions mount. Too many of the men feel that they are better suited to lead the party, especially after a boy goes missing while they are camped, and they later find his mutilated body. The group wants to blame the incident on animals or even Indians in the area, but all of them know that the boy's body is mutilated far beyond what any man or animal is capable of, and each person who saw the body starts to entertain thoughts of something more sinister possibly following the wagon train.I'm not going to spoil anything further, but things continue to get worse for the party, as groups begin to form, rations continue to dwindle, and Donner outright refuses to listen to warnings from pioneers further up the trail who tell him to follow a different route, that they will surely not make it to California if they continue on the path they have chosen. Most people know the real story of the Donner Party, and Katsu uses those details expertly while weaving in a sinister threat that is eventually revealed toward the end of the novel.I was thoroughly invested in this story and in the characters. The entire time you know the whole party is doomed, and yet you still root for them. You still hope that they will take a different route, or even go back and winter at one of the forts they passed on their journey west. But none of that happened in real life, and so the Donner Party trudges on, while something beyond their wagons watches them. Something that is hungry. Something that will never give up.This would have been a 5 star read for me if only the end had been different. After such a slow burn, after teasing something so sinister and evil for almost the entire book, I was waiting for an absolute gut punch ending. Sadly, the very end of the book is a bit of a disappointment.The Hunger is a well written historical fiction/horror novel that had me invested from the very beginning. Even though you know the ultimate outcome from the very first chapter, this is still a book that has you sitting on the edge of your seat.
