MY GIFTS ARE HUNGRY​
Kickstarter begins May, 2026
​
THE EIGHTIES, LOS ANGELES
​​
Grace Cather thinks she isn't running away from home. She's only going out for a night. Just to the most legendary club in Los Angeles, the Last Prayer, hunting grounds of the Queen of No Tomorrows herself. She's going to be there and Grace wants to meet her, just to say that she did. Just to do something real for once.
​
Then everything goes wrong. She meets a strange woman dumpster diving not just for mannequins but a very particular one. She gets a black eye and pushed to the street in front of the Queen. She's never going to amount to anything, forced to return home to Reseda and the life planned out for her by anyone but her.
​
Then everything goes right. She makes new friends. She finds a place to stay with other girls who don't have homes, either. She finds a new house.
​
A house haunted by a ghost who hasn't died yet.
​
From the glittering of Hollywood Boulevard to the back rooms of the Last Prayer to the foundations and rafters of a house built while the city itself was still young, Grace finds herself walking a path between life and un-life. But is the path one that she's chosen herself or was it laid out for her by other hands for other ends? The gifts have been laid out and given, but who is the giver and what is expected in return?
​
Taking place at the same moment in time as The Queen of No Tomorrows, My Gifts Are Hungry offers another route into Hazeland, this time through the eyes of a young woman who knows nothing of magic and only a little of mystery but is about to get a crash course in both, taught by the Queen herself.
