He wrote the guidebooks that helped America "prepare." Now the world’s ended for real—and he’s the one taking notes.
When a minor solar flare brushes Earth, prepper author Evan Merrick becomes a survival celebrity overnight. Podcasts. Book deals. Tactical underwear endorsements. The works.
But weeks later, the real collapse hits—and it turns out Evan can’t start a fire, ration beans, or survive a Tuesday without help.
Armed with nothing but bad advice and a very loyal dog, Evan stumbles into a group of strangers just as weird as he is. Together, they try to outwit starvation, wild goats, and mysterious children leaving bells and symbols in the woods.
Surviving Myself is a darkly funny, painfully honest, and surprisingly hopeful story about what happens when the apocalypse arrives—and you’re still just trying to figure yourself out.
