In Hungry Rats, the Rat Man, a serial killer, is on the loose in Flint, Michigan. Meredith Malady, a high-school girl with a dysfunctional family and a terror of rats sees some comm…on threads between her own life and the killer’s MO. She runs away from home to unearth a trail of clues, determined to catch a killer, but unsure what she’ll do when she meets the Rat Man face-to-face.

“Hungry Rats is an emotional and aesthetic tour de force about deep matters of the human heart. Author Connor Coyne shows why the novel is still the most important medium to write about what matters in a manner that matters.” — Jeffery Renard Allen, author of the Heartland award-winning novel Rails Under My Back
