Claire Fuller's novel "Hunger and Thirst" follows Ursula, a troubled woman shaped by her mother's death and the care system, as she becomes entangled with her friend Sue at a haunted house in 1980s Britain, ultimately leading to murder and a true-crime documentary. The book blends social realism about Thatcher-era Britain with gothic horror elements, using supernatural themes to explore trauma, betrayal, and the failures of institutional care.
