Hunger

Sarah can't leave her job, or someone will die.

For five years, she's waited tables at a haunted diner in tiny town Texas, safeguarding patrons from a hissing, hungry creature only she can see. It thinks it loves her. It doesn't like to share, and it's killed before.

Quitting is out of the question. Leaving town in the middle of the night means someone else will pay the price. Maybe dozens of someones.

When a handsome cowboy starts taking an interest in Sarah, the creature gears up to strike again. To save Toby from the creature, Sarah will need to purge the diner by feeding it the one thing she never thought she could.

In this short story, authors Elissa Strati and Jane Lebak team up to combine a little horror and a little romance in tiny town Texas. Come for the pie; stay because a ghoul slashed your tires.
