The Hunger of Men
The Hunger of Men
From the Pen of Thomas Miller
When Hunger Becomes a Mirror, What Do You See?
They said hunger would pass like weather.
They said men would remember kindness when the shelves went bare.
But hunger isn’t a storm—it’s a mirror. And in The Hunger of Men, everyone in Palatka, Florida, is forced to look too long.
From Thomas Miller, author of When Goodness Dies and The Deadly Lust of Chesterson Manor, comes his most haunting novel yet—an unflinching portrait of a small Florida town devoured by desperation after the government shuts down the Federal Food Relief Program.
As the world stops pretending it can afford mercy, Sheriff Barny McMillin clings to law like a drowning man grips a stone, while his ex-wife Jill Carroway builds a kitchen out of faith and scraps to keep hope alive. Between them lies a river—of guilt, pride, and the last fragile strands of humanity.
Set along the smoke-stained banks of the St. Johns River, The Hunger of Men is not a story of monsters under the bed—it’s about the ones that climb out when the bed is empty and the pantry is bare. It’s about what decency costs when the world stops feeding it.
From the Author
“There are stories you tell to pass time, and stories you tell because time has already passed you.
The Hunger of Men came from the second kind.”
— Thomas Miller, Palatka, Florida
