Description



Book Synopsis



The solo debut from the New York Times bestselling coauthor of Widow's Point: The Complete Haunting, a post-apocalyptic/survival horror novel written in the bestselling traditions of Stephen King's The Mist and Josh Malerman's Bird Box.

A top-secret government project hits upon a revolutionary idea for transporting matter across the vast reaches of the universe, and it succeeds in bringing something back. Something alive. Soon, mankind's reign comes to an abrupt halt when a truck hauling a very special shipping container overturns and rolls off the highway, unleashing an otherworldly horror upon an unsuspecting New England countryside, where it cannot be contained...

Several years later, an unidentified man emerges from the rubble of humanity, seeking other survivors and a shred of hope amid an eerie and lonely landscape. He travels by night up the rural East Coast, discovering Americana ruins and encountering monsters the likes of which no one has survived. Scarred and molded by the cruel horrors of this new natural order, he must face his own dwindling humanity and pray that any others out there have not become monsters themselves...



Review Quotes




"Man oh man, this is one of the best debuts l've ever read...reads like a volume taken from the apex of a seasoned novelist...The book's dual narratives roll out with absolute confidence in pacing, in mood, in voice. The grip Chizmar has on the story is hermetic...[Chizmar is] standing at the threshold of a very exciting career." --Josh Malerman, New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box
