It was an interesting concept but it was too short to make any real impact or build up a decent amount of suspense, and towards the end I felt like it relied too heavily on shock/gore factor to end the story quickly. Also it's called a Western Cthulhu story but I can't figure out how Cthulhu is supposed to fit into this at all? Is it part of a larger series? The main character has some kind of weird supernatural gun that I supposed could be associated with Lovecraftian magic, but none of it is ever explained in any detail. Definitely not what I was looking for.Product details

The Hunger A Western Steampunk Horror Short Story edition by Guy Riessen Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
First paragraph The first time James killed a man, it wasn't hard. Over the years it got even easier, yes sir. Now it was like eating crumpets and marmalade. He was always hungry for one more.
Sir James, as he likes to be called, is a British acquisition specialist and assassin with a technologically advanced rifle the size of his inflated ego. And, he's on a mission to the Wild West, to capture a Wendigo, a flesh-eating creature of legend that can also control men's minds. With his two Cree guides, Sir James ventures into the frozen wilderness...
There's a lot going on in this short story, almost too much for the brief 19 pages here. The mysterious group that Sir James works for is ample territory for its own story, as is the origin of James' rifle. The tale of the First Little Indian, Pannoowau, and his childhood survival of his own Wendigo, is another. The story is subtitled "A Western Cthulhu Mythos Short Story", yet I couldn't figure out how this story fit in to the cosmic horrors that are the Great Old Ones. Maybe it's my own limitations. Regardless, this was a good read, enjoyable and easy to swallow. Pun intended.
Guy Riessen introduces us to Sir James on his expedition to acquire something for his employer. And it goes sideways.
Fun little bite sized read!
The Hunger A Western Steampunk Horror Short Story was my first short (23 page) read from author Guy Riessen. I enjoy Steampunk, horror not so much. Add a dash of western & I was intrigued. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018)
I really liked the beginning because I love Steampunk. The protagonist had an interesting steampunk/alien weapon that I would love to hear more about. The middle was good with a small terrifying scene. The end seemed to be overly rushed and much more gruesome and gross than horror. I hope to read more of the author's work.
