Synopsis
A YA horror-lite graphic novel in which a ravenous creature haunts the halls of a lavish 1920s ocean liner, perfect for readers who love the weird mystery of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and for younger fans of the expressive art style of Lore Olympus. Teen vampire Warwick ("Wick") Farley is dispatched by his shifty employers--the international paranormal investigation organization Goldfinch--to look into an ocean liner whose mysterious new owner could threaten Britain's maritime business. What Wick discovers is a supernatural threat frightening even to him. Teaming with brave Neeta Pandy, the teenage ward of the ship's captain, Wick stands against Honeycutt--who appears to be a merely crass American businessman but is in fact an energy-sucking entity intent on destroying the ship. Told in bold, moody colors and a vivid graphic novel style, Hunger's Bite throws readers into a life-or-death horror adventure filled with peril, flirtation, and swarms of cubist zombie passengers!
