• The post-apocalyptic love child of Stephen King and Cormac McCarthy

  Ten years after the calamitous events set in motion by Dylan Cleary in his attempt to bring George Clearys last novel to life, Deacon Riis has settled back into the rather sedate life of a small-town reporter. That is, until hes invited to a New Years Eve Party by Dylans sister Crystal, whos now a successful writer/producer behind a wildly popular horror movie franchise and for her next big budget slasher flick shes chosen to adapt one of her grandfathers apocalyptic thrillers.

  On the drive up to his sisters retreat in northern Ontario, Deacon receives a text that reads, It has begun again. D. True to his word, Dylan is even then orchestrating an apparently random and increasingly savage series of attacks culled from his grandfathers last fiction and Deacons only hope of avoiding a similar climax as the one that saw much of Mesaquakee reduced to ash will be to go all-in like Dylan, even if it means sacrificing everything he holds dear.
