Thank you Netgalley for this ARC

Violent. Vibrant. Visceral. Hungerstone is everything I could ask for in a Carmilla retelling and more. I genuinely believe that Dunn has nailed the haunting Gothic atmosphere necessary for a Carmilla retelling. Dunn has excelled at emulating the eerie tone of Gothic literature with a straightforward writing style that makes this book immensely easy to binge-read.

Hungerstone is haunting and gorgeous all at once. I cannot recommend this book enough. It is visceral and grotesque and so so perfect for a creepy October read. Hungerstone is for gorgeous gorgeous girls who were born hungry. 5/5 stars!!!
