About this listen

Ren has a problem, and it’s not his heroin addiction.
Or that he’s wanted for murdering his step-father.
He’s being haunted by something far worse than the ghost of his dead sister.
When he hitches a ride with Lefty, Jersey, and Geena, a group of itinerant addicts on the run from their own problems, he starts to believe maybe things are looking up.

But there’s something wrong with Lefty. Something unnatural.

Something that wants to see them all dead.

Can Ren stop it in time, or will he end up torn apart on the side of the highway?

Or worse?

Critic reviews

"It Eats Your Hunger is the kind of horror that takes up residence in your soul. It's Hunter S. Thompson, It's Kerouac, and it's Straub. It's shocking that this is Joseph's debut novel. Many of the most seasoned writers couldn't pull off the level of raw grit and honest, saw-tooth prose this book punches with." -Gage Greenwood, Author of On A Clear Day, You Can See Block Island

This book hit me harder than I expected and I still feel all the emotions after weeks of listening to it. The narration by Tom Jordan was superlative, breathing life into the characters and managing to highlight their differences and peculiarities perfectly!

I’ve never experienced addiction, either myself, friends or relatives so the fact that this book affected me so much is a testament to the author’s competence. I cannot believe this is a debut and I’m in awe about everything in this book. The characters are raw, genuine and multifaceted, the plot is so carefully crafted, that I could have never imagined how everything would come together so strongly and emotionally charged.

The author introduces us to different characters which are all plagued by addiction, and the way they are painted I thought was very thoughtful, because they are neither miserable, pitiful, hateful or less, but only human, and addiction is just another of our flaws, a coping mechanism. They all share this hunger which consumes them and urges them forward, hunger for a past that is gone, hunger for a different present or future and hunger for purpose, which is fed through addiction. At the same time, this hunger makes them a target for the evil lurking inside one of them, Lefty, and it wants their hunger.

Whilst I was confused at first, I did not imagine how everything would make so much sense, and again a result of the well crafted masterplan behind the story. The last part was so emotional, suspenseful and tense, but oh so beautiful. I’m not going to lie, I did shed some tears, but it was also the perfect ending for this story!

If you want a story that will stick to your heart, that will surprise you with wonderful imperfect characters, this is the one!

Thanks to the author for the opportunity to listen to it and this is my honest opinion.

One of the best grief horror! Raw and emotional!
