Hunger knows no friend but its feeder... Tarrytown, NYWinter 1679Willem Tenner is a God-fearing Dutch wheat farmer. After he and his family take in a half-dead old man that has come to their doorstep, a violent and gory nightmare that will last for an eternity begins. Basilius De Vries is an undying creature. He consumes Willem's family and curses the wheat farmer with the bite that never heals. De onheilige honger. The eternal hunger. Piermont, NYWinter 1997Willem Tenner works at a video store and has few friends. He has lived many lives since 1679. He doesn't know what he is. He doesn't even know the name for it. When the hunger comes, he picks victims who have already given their lives away: Junkies, hookers, criminals. He will soon have to abandon this life and start again before people notice that he doesn't age. Willem had thought himself the only monster on this endless, ravenous trek through time. But he was wrong. An enemy has come for him. And the monster plans on tearing Willem's life, body, and soul apart. WARNING: This story contains scenes of graphic gore and violence.

Terry M West delivers a gritty, blood-soaked tale that effectively blends colonial history with modern thriller elements. The narrative successfully spans three centuries, using Willem Tenner’s perspective to anchor the reader in a world where hunger transcends time. The transition from Dutch farmstead to video store provides a stark contrast that highlights the protagonist's isolation. While the premise relies on familiar vampire-adjacent tropes, the execution is sharp and merciless. The warning regarding graphic gore is well-deserved, catering specifically to enthusiasts of extreme horror rather than casual readers. It suits those who appreciate historical settings infused with supernatural dread and unapologetic violence.
