Hungerstone – Dunn Kat (2025)

Lenore is the wife of steel magnate Henry, but after ten years of marriage their relationship has soured, and they have no child to fill the growing distance between them. Henry’s ambitions take them from London to the remote Nethershaw estate in the Peak District, where he plans to host a hunting party. Lenore must restore the crumbling house and prepare it for Henry’s guests, since their future depends on it. During the journey, a shocking carriage accident brings the mysterious Carmilla into her life. Pale and weak by day but vibrant at night, Carmilla awakens something deep within Lenore, while girls from nearby villages begin falling sick, consumed by a terrible hunger. As the hunt approaches, Lenore questions the role she has played for years, torn between regaining her husband’s affection and the cravings Carmilla has awakened. She soon uncovers a darkness in her household that places her at terrible risk. Set amid the violent wilderness of the Peaks and the uncontrolled appetite of the Industrial Revolution, this gothic, sensual reworking of Carmilla explores appetite, desire and female oppression.
