Overview

Hunger. It's the driving force behind survival. The Velander bloodline carries an ancient secret: power and immortality. But that power requires a key to unlock: human flesh. Gordon Velander finds himself an unwilling participant in a play for survival - but he won't be powerless for long. It's the driving force behind passion. The Gentleman Ghouls have survived for centuries due to cunning and careful planning but their world in unraveling. Gordon has vowed to take the Ghouls down no matter what, but he's fighting a war--both within and without. The Ghouls, on the other hand, are not waiting patiently for the end to come. It's the driving force behind revenge. With the Farm and the Commons destroyed, the Ranch is the last outpost of the Ghouls. With the bitter end in sight, Gordon must face his greatest challenge yet--claiming his own fate as other forces make their moves. Revenge is sweet. Passion is fulfilling. But survival trump all. This rural horror omnibus of cannibals, dark pacts, and ancient power by Ivan Ewert contains three novels: Famished: The Farm, Famished: The Commons, and Famished: The Ranch, and features two new short stories.

Author Information

Ivan Ewert was born in Chicago, Illinois, and has never wandered far afield. He has deep roots in the American Midwest, finding a sense of both belonging and terror within the endless suburban labyrinths, deep north woods, tangled city streets and boundless prairie skies. The land and the cycles of the year both speak to him and inform his writing; which revolves around the strange, the beautiful, the delicious and the unseen. His work has previously appeared in the award-winning anthology Grants Pass, as well as in Close Encounters of the Urban Kind, Human Tales, Space Tramps: Full-Throttle Space Tales and Beasts Within 3: Oceans Unleashed, while his culinary writing has appeared in Alimentum: The Literature of Food. An early treatment of Famished, then named Vorare, as well as separate works titled Solstice and Idolwood, appeared in the online magazine, The Edge of Propinquity from 2006 to 2011. He was the sole author to span all six years of that publication. In previous lives, Ivan has worked as an audio engineer, a purchasing agent, a songwriter, a tarot reader, a quality specialist, a project manager and, for a remarkably short stint, an accountant. In his spare time, Ivan occupies himself with reading, gaming, and assisting with the jewelry design firm Triskele Moon Studios. He currently lives near the Illinois-Wisconsin border with his wife of seventeen years and a terrifying collection of condiments. Ivan can be reached at www.ivanewert.com and on Twitter as @IvanEwert.
