Produktbeschreibung

THE EASTLAND HUNGERS

In 1903, something malevolent was born in the Port Huron shipyards-a vessel that defied its builders, resisted its moorings, and hungered for more than any ship should. The Eastland was never just a ship; it was a predator from the start.

When the SS Eastland capsized in the Chicago River in 1915, killing over 800 passengers without ever leaving the dock, it wasn't simply a tragic accident. It was feeding.

The Navy may have renamed her USS Wilmette, scrapped her hull, and scattered her pieces across Chicago, but the Eastland refused to die. For over a century, she has gathered her fragments, calling to them from the depths of the river, waiting to be made whole.

Marine archaeologist Eliza Morgan begins investigating the structural flaws behind the disaster, only to discover haunting inconsistencies and vanished blueprints. When she pulls a perfectly preserved rivet from the murky Chicago River, she unwittingly becomes the Eastland's collector-and its vessel.

As the centennial of the disaster approaches, strange phenomena grip Chicago. Water mains burst near buildings containing Eastland steel. Sleepwalkers are drawn to the river's edge. And somewhere in an apartment overlooking the water, metal fragments writhe and reshape themselves in a bathtub, watched over by a woman with metallic eyes who hasn't aged in decades.

The Eastland hungers still. And this time, it won't be satisfied until Chicago drowns.

A masterfully crafted supernatural thriller that blends maritime history with cosmic horror, "The Eastland Hungers" will pull you beneath the surface of reality and into the cold, dark waters where forgotten tragedies-and those who caused them-refuse to rest.

Autorenporträt

Natalie Zett is an author, journalist, and podcaster whose work explores forgotten tragedies, family history, and the eerie ways the past refuses to stay buried. She is the author of Flower in the River, a compelling historical fiction book that uncovers the lost legacy of the 1915 Eastland Disastera tragedy that claimed over 800 lives, including a member of her own family

Inspired by her research, Natalie also created the Flower in the River podcast, where she explores untold stories, historical mysteries, and the impact of personal and collective memory. Through her writing and podcasting, she brings history to life, shining a light on those lost to time.

Her latest work, The Eastland Hungers, is a historical horror short story that reimagines the Eastland's dark legacy. Drawing from real survivor accounts, deep historical research, and supernatural folklore, the story asks: What if the Eastland never truly died? What if it's waiting to rise again?

When she's not writing or podcasting, Natalie is deeply engaged in genealogy, writing and historical preservation. She is passionate about giving voices to those people that history has forgottenbecause, as The Eastland Hungers reminds us, some things remember us, even when we try to forget them.
