Chasing the Storm

by Shane Kroetsch

Two years after the storm changed the world, those who survived will learn that the sickness was only the beginning.

Krystal, a seasoned hunting guide, leads a group of amateurs deep into the wilds of northern Ontario to mark the anniversary of the storm. What begins as a simple memorial trip quickly turns into a waking nightmare.

They stumble upon a mysterious facility deep in the forest, built to harness an engineered virus for sport and profit. Soon, the hunters become the hunted, and Krystal must confront a horror she thought she’d escaped forever.

Chasing the Storm is the gripping third installment of The Storm Series, a relentless exploration of how survival means more than just staying alive; it also means holding together the fragments that make us human.

About the author

Oh hi. My name is Shane, and I write dark and speculative fiction that is rooted in questions that don’t have easy answers. My work searches the edges and dark corners of the human experience, while giving shape to the uncertainty of what comes next. Don’t worry, there are usually monsters as well.

Over the past seven years I have released a collection of short fiction, a pathogen zombie series, and been featured in a growing number of anthologies.

I live, work, and create in Alberta, Canada on the traditional and unceded lands of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut’ina, and Stoney Nakoda (Bearspaw, Chiniki, Goodstoney) First Nations, currently labelled as Treaty 7 Territory and Métis Nation of Alberta Region 4.

[Judy Dufort · Rating 5 out of 5]

Chasing the Storm, book three — the further I read, the more intense the story grew, until I reached the end, wound tight as a clock spring about to give. Is there a book four?
