To survive, the group turned to cannibalism, and their story has since been immortalised in pop culture and historical case studies on human survival. The Hunger is a standalone novel which is loosely based on the true story of the Donner Party a group of American Pioneers who, while migrating to California, were snowbound in the Sierra Nevada mountain range in the winter of 1846-1847. Today we’re looking at horror novel The Hunger written by Alma Katsu. I have done my best to avoid spoilers but in analysing the writing I have had to draw attention to certain elements that may impact your reading of the story. Texts are based on my reading preferences and I am not affiliated with the author or publisher. I’ll be looking at different techniques the author has used, what has worked, what hasn’t, and the overall impact of the techniques on the story. This week I’m doing a writing analysis which, to recap, is similar to a book review but from a writing perspective.
