If you're captivated by real-life horrors like the fate that befell the Donner party — a group of pioneers who migrated from the Midwest to California in a wagon — you'll love "The Hunger" ($18) by Alma Katsu, which explores a fictional and even more disastrous view of what really happened to the party in the mountains. The book begins with a young boy's mysterious death and only becomes more chilling as other members of the party start to disappear, making the remaining survivors wonder what's really waiting for them out in the mountains.
