The Hunger
(G.P. Putnam’s Sons)Human history is littered with examples of us going places we shouldn’t. The Mariana Trench. Outer space. The peak of some desolate mountain top, places that weren’t meant to be seen by human eyes. The Hunger by Alma Katsu is the story of one of the most famous doomed expeditions in American history: that of the Donner Party. This party was anything but festive – in 1846, a group of 87 men, women and children all journeyed up into the Sierra Nevada on a trek to California. After becoming snowbound, they had to rely on each other to survive – not in a cooperative sense, but cannibalistic one. According to Katsu’s retelling of the tale, these deplorable events may have had supernatural causes. Maybe the Donner’s didn’t eat each other, maybe there was something else in the mountains, something hungry for them?
