HUNGERSTONE

by Kat Dunn

A Compulsive Sapphic Reimagining of CARMILLA — The Vampire Novel That Inspired Dracula

Set against the violent wilderness of the Peak District.
A story of unstoppable hunger — and the woman who finally lets herself feel it.

THE STORY THAT WILL CONSUME YOU

Lenore is the wife of steel magnate Henry. Ten years into their marriage, the relationship has soured. No child has arrived to fill the distance growing between them. When Henry's ambitions take them from London to the remote, imposing Nethershaw estate in the Peak District, Lenore must restore the crumbling house and ready it for his hunting party. Their future depends on it.

Then a carriage accident brings Carmilla into her life.

Pale and weak during the day. Vibrant and magnetic at night.

Carmilla, who stirs something deep within Lenore that she has never dared to name.

And in the villages nearby, girls begin to fall sick — consumed by a terrible hunger.

As the day of the hunt draws closer, Lenore begins to unravel.

Torn between reclaiming her husband's affection and the cravings Carmilla has awakened, she begins to question the role she has been playing all these years. And beneath the surface of Nethershaw, a darkness stirs — one that will place her at terrible risk.

She has spent a lifetime suppressing her hunger.
Carmilla has come to set it free.
