THE REMAINS - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The road north is lying.

Twenty-one-year-old Eli Mercer leaves Ocean City, Maryland, carrying little more than survival gear, his missing brother Aaron’s brass compass, and a growing collection of clues pointing north. What begins as a desperate search soon becomes a journey through ruined towns, abandoned highways, haunted shelters, plague-scarred communities, and places where something far worse than hunger is waiting.

Along the way, Eli meets Nora Vance, a former veterinary technician with the medical knowledge and survival instincts to keep them alive, and Rosey, a German Shepherd whose reactions may be the only reliable way to tell hallucination from genuine supernatural danger. Together, they uncover a trail of false safe routes, manipulated radio broadcasts, dinner bells, white plates marked with black spirals, and evidence of an organized cannibal network known as The Banquet.

But the human predators are only part of what remains.

Across the devastated East Coast, the dead leave stories behind in barricaded rooms, abandoned meals, blood trails, photographs, ruined camps, and impossible recordings. Some locations are haunted. Some objects should never be touched. And after a terrifying encounter with a mysterious crystal key and an impossible black safe, Eli and Nora release thousands of dark entities into a world already struggling to survive.

Now the road is changing around them, and every mile north reveals another reason the old world may have been safer dead.

THE REMAINS is the first book in a ten-book series blending twisted gothic storybook horror, post-apocalyptic survival, psychological suspense, supernatural mystery, environmental storytelling, and relentless thriller tension.
