FOR WHAT DO YOU HUNGER . . . ?

Lenore is the wife of steel magnate Henry, but ten years into their marriage the relationship has soured, and no child has arrived to fill the distance growing between them. Henry's ambitions take them from London to the Peak District, to the remote, imposing Nethershaw estate, where he plans to host a hunting party. Lenore must work to restore the crumbling house and ready it for Henry's guests - their future depends on it.

But as the couple travel through the bleak countryside, a shocking carriage accident brings the mysterious Carmilla into Lenore's life. Carmilla, who is weak and pale during the day but vibrant at night, Carmilla who stirs up something deep within Lenore. And before long, girls from the local villages fall sick, consumed by a terrible hunger . . .

As the day of the hunt draws closer, Lenore begins to unravel, questioning the role she has been playing all these years. Torn between regaining her husband's affection and the cravings Carmilla has awakened, soon Lenore will uncover a darkness in her household that will place her at terrible risk . . .

Set against the violent wilderness of the Peaks and the uncontrolled appetite of the Industrial Revolution, HUNGERSTONE is a compulsive sapphic reworking of CARMILLA, the book that inspired DRACULA: a captivating story of appetite and desire.

Kritikerstimmen

I didn't like this, I LOVED it.
This atmospheric gothic novel should only be read with the lights on.
Filled with longing and loneliness, Hungerstone is a beguiling feast of a novel. Kat Dunn writes with a disturbing savagery and hunger, yet, Hungerstone and the characters within are left raw from their tenderness.
Based on the book that inspired Dracula, this is a beguiling and spellbinding story of female repression and appetite.
A sumptuously dark gothic novel that is the sapphic retelling of Carmilla, the first vampire fiction, we all deserve . . . The story delves into themes of female autonomy, desire, and societal constraints. Dunn's atmospheric prose and intricate character development make Hungerstone stand out amongst the crowd.
A rich and daring reimagining that brings the beating heart of Carmilla to life again. Hungerstone is a delicious tribute to the inherent horrors of womanhood and the desperate and exquisite vulgarity of desire. This is everything I dream of in a novel.
With writing both evocative and enchanting, Hungerstone is a horrifyingly delectable novel. A celebration of female appetite and agency, Dunn's gothic reimagining of Carmilla is ravenous, righteous and utterly sublime.
Hungerstone is an intoxicating and vivid take on the gothic novel. Sensual and vicious, Lenore's devastating story of self discovery, betrayal and power feels like one for the ages.
Hungerstone is an extraordinary book: a dark, sensuous, gothic story of female appetite, ravenous desire and insatiable rage. A blood-drenched, glittering jewel of a novel that I absolutely devoured.
A beautifully written retelling of classic vampire novel Carmilla that explores how love and desire help us get to know ourselves better.

I stumbled over this book by coincidence and I honestly love it!! It has been a while since I enjoyed a book that much, the way it was read was also really good.
(I wouldn't recommend it to mysoginists tho and have snacks by hand in case you get hungry while listening)

would recommend
