A compulsive feminist reworking of Carmilla, the queer novella that inspired Dracula.

“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

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.

I unfortunately found this book to be quite boring. It was also a bit too centered around her husband when I was hoping for more of a violent lesbian vampire romance. I don't have that much interest in the in and outs of high society or the repetitive and dull childhood stories. No doubt this author is a great writer but I didn't actually enjoy the story as much as I was hoping too. I do look forward to reading what she writes in the future though. The narrator was fantastic and the only reason I finished this story, which inevitably did have a great ending.

Sorry I didn't like it more! great narrator
