Book description
Caitlin Starling's The Starving Saints isn't just a book-it's a slow, delicious horror you'll feel in your bones. And the audiobook? Chef's kiss. (Seriously, press play and let the whispers creep in.)
Set in a castle starving under siege, it's a fever dream where divine visitors arrive through locked gates, healing the sick and refilling empty stores. But this isn't salvation-it's a trap. The Constant Lady and her Saints promise paradise... and demand worship. Soon, the whole castle's addicted, trading war for hedonism, forgetting the enemy outside for intoxicating feasts of questionable origin.
Enter our trio: Ser Voyne, the war hero bowing to the Saints; Phosyne, the paranoid nun-sorceress racing to expose the truth behind the miracles; and Treila, the serving girl torn between vengeance and survival. Their fight isn't against the siege-it's against the madness the Saints are weaving. And it's terrifyingly intimate.
Starling's genius? She makes you feel the castle's rot. The audiobook nails it-every hushed argument, every frantic heartbeat, every eerie whisper of the Saints' voices. You're not just reading it; you're inside Aymar Castle, smelling the stale bread, hearing the feast's unsettling hum. The narrator's voice? Perfectly unhinged, pulling you deeper into the delusion.
This isn't just horror-it's a masterclass in psychological dread. Starling (of The Luminous Dead fame) crafts a world where faith becomes a weapon, and the real enemy isn't the army outside... it's the hunger inside. The three women's alliances shift like sand, their pasts colliding with violence, making every choice feel desperate, real.
You'll question everything-the Saints, the castle, even your own sanity. And the ending? Chef's kiss. It redefines what "saving" means. You'll be replaying lines, checking your own walls, long after the last word fades. The audiobook makes it unforgettable. If you love slow-burn horror that lingers like a bad dream? This is your next obsession. Don't just read it-listen to it. You won't sleep well. (But you'll beg for more.)
