Perfect for you if...

You love apocalyptic horror that's deeply uncomfortable and refuses to look away from what it's exploring.
You want weird, transgressive fiction that treats sexual horror as genuinely frightening rather than titillating.
You've read Maeve Fly and want to see what Leede does when she scales up her vision to a full continent.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer your horror subtle or psychological rather than visceral and explicit.
You're looking for a redemptive or hopeful narrative arc in your post-apocalyptic fiction.
You want to read about a protagonist who stays morally clean throughout their ordeal.

About this book

A virus spreads across America, transforming infected people into feral beings driven by lust. Sophie, a devout Catholic woman, must navigate the devastated midwest landscape in an attempt to locate her family as civilization collapses around her. Throughout her journey, she encounters dangers that prove worse than the fate she initially feared. The novel is set during an apocalyptic scenario and was named one of the Best Horror Books of 2024 by Esquire, Vulture, Paste, ScreenRant, and Literary Hub. It was selected as a GoodReads and Publishers Weekly Editors' Pick and an Indie Next Pick, and was a finalist for the Splatterpunk Award.
