In "X-Files YA #09: Hungry Ghosts" by Ellen Steiber, Mulder and Scully investigate a disturbing phenomenon in a small town where residents are mysteriously disappearing. As they dig deeper, they uncover a connection to an ancient legend involving restless spirits and supernatural forces. The agents must navigate the complexities of local folklore while facing their own fears and the lurking danger tied to the hungry ghosts. With suspenseful twists and the signature tension between the duo, the story delves into themes of belief, the past's influence on the present, and the unexpected consequences of confronting the unknown.

This book has been nominated for the following award:
Bram Stoker Award
Each year, the Horror Writers Association presents the Bram Stoker Awards for Superior Achievement, named in honor of Bram Stoker, author of the seminal horror work, Dracula. The Bram Stoker Awards were instituted immediately after the organization’s incorporation in 1987. To ameliorate the competitive nature of any award system, the Bram Stoker Awards are given “for superior achievement,†not for “best of the year,†and the rules are deliberately designed to make ties possible. The first awards were presented in 1988 (for works published in 1987) and they have been presented every year since. Any work of Horror first published in the English language may be considered for an award during the year of its publication. The categories for which a Bram Stoker Award may be presented have varied over the years, reflecting the state of the publishing industry and the horror genre. The thirteen Bram Stoker Award categories are: Novel, First Novel, Short Fiction, Long Fiction, Young Adult, Middle Grade (added in 2022), Fiction Collection, Poetry Collection, Anthology, Screenplay, Graphic Novel, Nonfiction, and Short Nonfiction. There are two paths to a work becoming a Nominee for the Bram Stoker Award. In one, the HWA membership at large recommends worthy works for consideration. A preliminary ballot for each category is compiled using a formula based on these recommendations. In the second, a Jury for each category also compiles a preliminary ballot. Two rounds of voting by our Active members then determine first the Final Ballot (all those appearing on the Final Ballot are “Bram Stoker Nomineesâ€), and then the Bram Stoker Award Winners. In addition, Lifetime Achievement Awards are occasionally presented to individuals whose entire body of work has substantially influenced Horror.
