Descent: A Body Horror Novel of Soviet Bioweapons, Flesh-Rewriting Terror, and the Worst Thing You Can Discover Beneath Frozen Ground: That It's Already Inside You
This book contains extreme body horror. Not for the faint-hearted.
They built the facility to improve the human body. The human body had other plans.
Beneath the Alaskan permafrost, a decommissioned Soviet research facility has been waiting for forty years. Not decaying. Not dormant. Growing.
When Dr. Lena Vasik leads a six-person salvage team into the buried complex, they discover that the walls are breathing—and that the facility remembers them. Because their parents were the original test subjects. Because their blood carries a genetic program that was never meant to be cured. Because the flesh knows things the mind has forgotten.
As the protocol activates in their bodies—rewriting tissue, rerouting nerve endings, redesigning the architecture of what it means to be human—the team must choose between the horror of what they are becoming and the certainty of what they will lose if they stop it.
How do you survive something that lives inside you?
THE FLESH DESCENT is the first book in a two-part extreme horror series that asks the only question that matters when your own biology becomes the enemy.
