The Starving by Jon Dobbin
4.0
With its tense atmosphere and lightning fast pacing, The Starving is a blood soaked, ice-cold cinematic experience. Filled to the brim with entertaining and gore laden death scenes, this horror-western is the perfect read for any creature feature, or splatter western fan. Even the most disturbed of horror readers will find something to enjoy here.
While short, this novel has a bite. It's unrelenting, from the very first page you are thrown into the madness, and won't be let go until the conclusion. Dobbin's characters are so interesting, so deeply fleshed out, that it was almost a shame to lose them. But, naturally, as with any good Wendigo story, the bodies have to drop. Thankfully, Dobbin succeeded in creating death scenes so satisfying, that parting ways with these characters felt a little more acceptable.
