Take a look at what some of the icons of zombie and horror fiction have to say about The Hungry:

The Hungry is a zombie thriller loaded with sex and smarts. A real nail-biter that brings a new weapon to bear in apocalyptic fiction: Hope. Highly recommended.
—Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Dust & Decay and Dead of Night

If you’re craving an apocalyptic horror novel that’s not just wall-to-wall action but balls-to-the-wall intense, Steven W. Booth and Harry Shannon have cooked up a real treat for you. I would say The Hungry will leave you totally satisfied, but that’s not true: Readers will be howling for more more more MORE just like the hordes of insatiable zombies rampaging through this book.
—Steve Hockensmith, author of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls

You don't know what gut-churning page-flipping horror really is until you read this one. The Hungry combines the storytelling power of the big commercial thriller with many new twists on standard zombie fiction. A real winner.
—Ed Gorman, author of The Dark Fantastic and Cage of Night

From the opening line, I loved it. I loved how complete it felt. It had so many great elements working for it - the small town setting; the two powerful main characters, as different as they could be, nearly every word between them charged with sexual tension; the satisfying stalemate as neither one gets exactly what they want, but rather what they need. A great story, and for a zombie fan like me, it pressed all the right buttons.
—From the Introduction by Joe McKinney, author of Dead City and Flesh Eaters

The Zombies are Spreading...

Small town Sheriff Penny Miller and her friends Scratch, Terrill Lee, and Sheppard escaped from Nevada moments before a devastating nuclear explosion intended to eradicate the zombie plague. The Government’s plan didn’t work, and the undead are spreading fast. When Miller and her men find an abandoned hunting lodge in a remote village in Colorado, they’re hoping to steer clear of zombies, redneck survivalists, and panicked locals, and to simply ride out the winter.

Penny Miller just wants some peace and quiet, a glass of wine in front of the fireplace, and maybe some quality time with Scratch over the holidays.

Unfortunately, that isn’t Santa coming down the chimney—and this will not be a Merry Christmas.

"Zombie thrillers loaded with sex and smarts."
—Jonathan Maberry, NYT Best Selling Author of Extinction Machine

“Defines laugh-out-loud funny.”
—Bookish Brunette

“From the opening line, I loved it. For a zombie fan like me, presses all the right buttons.”
—Stoker winner Joe McKinney, Author of Dead City and Flesh Eaters

"The dialogue and narrative crackle, and the expressions that come out of Penny's mouth are hilarious. Great combination of action, gore, horror and humor."
—Dana Fredsti, Author of Plague Nation
