It’s the height of the industrial revolution and ten years into Lenore’s marriage to steel magnate Henry, their relationship has soured. When Henry’s ambitions take them from London to the remote British moorlands to host a hunting party, a shocking carriage accident brings the mysterious Carmilla into their lives. 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. “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.” —Ava Reid, 1 New York Times bestselling author of A Study in Drowning and Lady Macbeth Read more

    • Buy this book, its great!

    • Beautiful
I loved seeing Lenore's character development, and the scenery was beautifully written. I also loved that she kept some things a little mysterious, the answer is there but it's not just laid out plainly for you. I only wish there was more between Carmilla and Lenore. I didn't care for their relationship at all in the first half of the book, I wish we got more romantic scenes in the second half. ... show more

    • I hate to say it but I was kinda bored.
I rented this book on Libby at first then decided to purchase the book so I can have more time with it. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– This book follows Lady Lenore after she and her husband come across Carmilla's wrecked carriage on their way to their new property called Nethershaw. Their lives are turned upside down as they invite Carmilla to stay with them and everyone is affected. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– I thought this book was boring and was full of filler content. I thought the premise was great but I couldn't see where the feminism was located in this book. I still saw a lot of violence against women, especially from the FMC's husband to the FMC. I'm not sure how I feel about Carmilla and feel that she was a bitch at some points when speaking to the FMC. She wasn't even at the home for a lot of the novel toward the end. I'm not sure how I feel about the effect she had on the FMC, even when she wasn't physically there. I also didn't like Cora either but I'm not the type of person who can spend a lot of time in someone else's presence without feeling a certain sense of annoyance. I'm very introverted by nature so to spend as much time with Cora as the FMC did, I know I wouldn't have lasted as long as the FMC did. I feel bad for the FMC at the end of the day after everything she went through in this novel. I'm glad she got a "good" ending, even if it's ambiguous. I don't want to spoil the end of the book for anyone but I wouldn't necessarily consider this book to have your typical HEA for Carmilla and the FMC. I think that's the saddest part for me and it's one of the reasons I'd hesitate to recommend this book. If you want a good gothic vampire novel meant for adults and not teenagers, I'd say go for this one. However, if you want an HEA at the end, I'd skip this book entirely. Yikes! ... show more

Review Image by Kacey R. Kacey R.
I was already a fan of Kat Dunn's other works, but this one is easily my favorite. Truly a wild ride of a book, and a unique and very entertaining retelling of Carmilla. I'm a sucker for hunger as a metaphor for repressed desire. (Do you see what I did there?) I ordered the hardcover version, and it looks stunning. Very happy with my purchase! ... show more

    • Dark, hungry, and a little unhinged
"I want. I lack. I hunger." ♡ Inspired by Carmilla ♡ Gothic, Historical setting ♡ Saphhic Yearning ♡ Feminine Urge to not gaf When what is celebrated in men is punished in women, what is a lady to do but slowly begin to unravel? This entire book is a love letter to women who bear the insurmountable weight of societal expectations, all the while wrestling with the yearning, the hunger, that they are told to starve into extinction. Vampires have always been tools in media to showcase the danger of desire, but what if it is giving in to that desire that sets us free? "I want her. It is simple, and it is impossibly complex. In this brief moment, I know what I want. And I understand how completely that terrifies me. Because to want is it risk disappointment, and life has so bitterly disappointed me." In this tale, Carmilla maintains her mystery, giving little away. Her motivations are never made clear. She simply acts as the voice of temptation. Temptation for Lenore to break free of her husband's will - temptation to give in to her desires - temptation to become the person she has yearned to be. "I am a moth, battering myself against the light. So easily burnt in my desperation." ... show more

    • Dunn enriches the tradition of Carmilla
I had never read Carmilla, so this was my first introduction to the story. I found that the pace maintained my interest, and the main character was certainly compelling. The author builds in aspects of historical fiction, and her research into and familiarity with the location added to the believability. Dunn also takes a bit of a feminist approach, whereas the traditionally trapped gothic female is entirely helpless, her main character sees a chance for liberation. I immediately read Carmilla after finishing Hungerstone, which consequently provided and even greater appreciation for the pairing of the two versions of the story. ... show more
