Hard-boiled horror meets Depression-era grit: Foodchain is a brutal, breathless descent into a town that's run on bones, gunpowder, and the cruel economy of who eats whom.
Frank Winter had a gift with animals-until one vicious kick shattered the life he planned. Now it's 1939, the Depression's dust still settling, and Frank is broke, hunted, and one wrong move from a grave.
Dragged from a trunk and nearly fed to the beasts at a roadside menagerie, he makes a desperate break for freedom. He flees into the hollowed-out town of Whitewood, ruled by Horace Sturm-a man with a tumor in his head and a taste for brutal entertainments. Sturm sees an opportunity where others see ruin: starving exotic beasts turned into a dark carnival for rich hunters with itchy trigger fingers.
Desperate and dangerously useful, Frank agrees to tend the animals and train them for the hunts-first for cash, then for survival. As Whitewood transforms into a blood-slick arena of death and revenge, Frank must choose: predator or prey. And Annie Glouck-young, fierce, and impossibly alive-makes him risk more than escape...she makes him care.
