“None of us deserve our bad fortune, but that does not stop it from coming.”
Kat Dunn, Hungerstone

Kat Dunn
“I do not need to contain my appetites.

What is a monster but a creature of agency?”
Kat Dunn, Hungerstone

“I hated her because I did not understand what it was that I had lost before I saw it in her.”
Kat Dunn, Hungerstone

Kat Dunn
“The more I understand my own appetite, the more I understand how far I am from satiating it. It is as though it spills out from me from every direction. I want to be desired, I want to travel, to paint, or write, to be listened to and respected, needed. I want true family, whether that be children or not. I want, I want, I want.”
Kat Dunn, Hungerstone

Kat Dunn
“A vampire is a creature of total want, of pure appetite, an antithesis to our self-denial, and I find myself picking through the bones of the story about the tension between these two states. Appetite is a dirty word for women, a cardinal sin. For food and sex, yes, but also for power, for ambition, for violence. What is Carmilla but a woman unleashed on any limits on her appetites? Does it make her monstrous? Is what we celebrate in men always monstrous in women? Is it also not monstrous to starve ourselves, to kill our appetite until we embody a living death?”
Kat Dunn, Hungerstone
