Poquoson is an old Algonquian word for Great Salt Marsh. The land here is ancient, shaped by cycles of tide, of things living, feeding, and dying on top of one another.
In this isolated community, those cycles are more than nature - they are rules. Everyone knows when to keep quiet, when to look away, and when something must be given up for the good of the whole. Outsiders feel the tension immediately. Locals call it tradition.
As the seasons turn and old rituals resurface, it becomes clear that something still claims this land - not a beast that hunts, but a hunger that must be fed. Survival depends on obedience, silence, and a willingness to accept loss as necessary.
Hungry Things is a slow-burning work of folk horror about ritual, inheritance, and communal complicity - where the land remembers every offering, and the most terrifying choice is the one that keeps everyone alive.
