Starved

STARVED is a visceral anthology of modern fiction that confronts hunger in all its forms: physical, emotional, social and existential. Spanning continents and genres, these stories strip starvation of metaphor and expose it as lived experience: bodies emptied by famine and poverty, minds hollowed by obsession, societies eroded by cruelty, consumption and neglect. Here, hunger is not only the absence of food, but the presence of want: of love, justice, memory, autarky and meaning. STARVED features everything from quiet domestic horror to speculative brutality, from psychological realism to razor-edged allegory; gathering an international roster of writers who interrogate what it means to survive when the world withholds what is essential. Edited by Jay Chakravarti, STARVED is the latest in CultureCult Press’ boundary-pushing fiction anthologies that examine the fractures of modern life via stories that confront social decay, psychological extremity and the unspoken hungers of our time.
