Chimera Skin is a new apocalypitic sci-fi short novel from Johnny Compton, Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of The Spite House, Devils Kill Devils, and Dead First.

But Swanson may have figured out how to fight back, even if his plan forces him to leave the only planet he's ever known.

Chimera Skin is a short science-fiction horror novel in the vein of The Fly, The Thing, and I am Legend.
