The Rat Man, a serial killer, is on the loose in Flint, Michigan, and nobody can stop him. Except you, Meredith Malady, a high-school girl with a dysfunctional family and a score to settle. Running away from home is the first step, but where will you stay? How will you survive? And what will you do when you meet the Rat Man face to face? Connor Coyne's debut novel, described by Heartland Prize-winning author Jeffery Renard Allen as "an emotional and aesthetic tour de force," is told in gripping second-person. An unknown narrator speaks to Meredith as she struggles to tie together the threads of her own history and to bring a killer to justice.

Who is the Rat Man?
Bella has nothing on Meredith Malady. Seriously, this novel is part poem, part Sweeney-Todd drunken butcher's opera, with a dash of logging-town historical fiction. What starts as a dark, licorice-flavored coming-of-age story poses, by the end, a serious mystery in which we as readers feel compelled to choose an allegiance.
As a high school teacher, I wish I could put this on the curriculum to read with my students. Hungry Rats feels like several books in one. There's plenty of young adult material here: imperfect parents, awkward jealousies, dangerous friendships, runaway adventures. At the same time, this slim volume would make a power-shake of reading comprehension. Don't let the experimental style deceive you--this is edgy fiction that's made for devouring.
