You ever wonder what happens to preppers when they get their apocalypse but it’s not like in the movies where someone finds a solution before the supplies run out? This apocalypse comes in the form of a virus that obliterates a person within minutes. It literally liquifies a person’s insides and it is spread through mosquitoes. There is no hope. There are no happy endings.
What a fantastic debut apocalyptic horror story from Holly Harper and Nathaniel Colt. If you like bleak, this is bleak af. I look forward to seeing what else this pair comes up with.

I am positive I have no interest in going out of my way to survive the end of the world. This piece pretty much cemented that idea. This book is gruesome, heavy, and impeccably descriptive. It’s also very short, so there’s a lot to take in within a short timeframe.
This story is exactly as described, so don’t go in looking for a happy ending and getting mad at what you find.
