"A gothic masterpiece. A devastating exploration of humanity's capacity for evil." --Sunyi Dean, author of The Book Eaters

John Sackville will soon be dead. Shadows writhe in the corners of his cell as he mourns the death of his secret lover and as the gnawing hunger inside him grows impossible to ignore.

He must write his last testament before it is too late.

The story he tells will take us to the darkest part of the human soul. It is a tale of otherworldly creatures, ancient cults, and a terrifying journey from the stone circles of Scotland to the icy peaks of Tibet.

It is a tale that will take us to the end of the world.

"A phenomenal book full of rich historical detail, occult mysticism, and slow, creeping horror. A triumph that should be on your reading list." --Thomas D. Lee, author of Perilous Times

"The Black Hunger reveals its horrors inch by devastating inch." --Molly O'Neill, author of Greenteeth

"A terrifying gothic journey to the place where the very cruelest, hungriest creatures hide in the snow, and wear our faces. This is a magisterial debut." --Michael Rowe, author of Wild Fell

"Rich in historical detail, poignant romance, sweeping adventure, and visceral terror." --Jennifer Thorne, author of Diavola
