Jesse, diagnosed with an STD, confronts her cheating husband, but he's hungry, attacks her, and tries to eat her. She fights for her life, a battle that doesn’t end by killing him. This STD makes AIDS seem no worse than a runny nose. As the virus spreads, the world falls into the chaos of riots, murder, and cannibalism. The disease is incurable, but Jesse finds a way to live with it...in a very tasty way.
Here are just a few of the great reviews this book is getting:
“De Cusack has crafted a horror journey that takes the reader through the horrific decline of a character who re-defines what we know of the zombie genre.
The reader is immediately drawn into a dark storyline that is mirrored by the dark futurism of her world - Blade Runner-world comparisons are certainly apt. The state of mind and emotional balance of our protagonist would make Philip K Dick smile from beyond the grave. It's a great journey and I'd encourage everyone to drop into it and enjoy it as I did. I'd like to think that we'll be seeing more stories from De Cusacks' universe.”
“New author Brandy De Cusack is one entertaining individual. Given her imagination, I have to say that she is not someone I would like to meet in a dark alley but if she keeps letting her mind run riot across the page then she is certainly going to be a writer to pay attention to in the future!
I love zombie stories but let's be honest, there is very little available that is truly original. Until now. De Cusack's take on the zombie tale is not exactly comfortable reading and I mean that in the most positive way possible. Her story of betrayed wife Jesse is a well crafted study in claustrophobic creepiness. It's one of those stories that compels you to turn the page, to read the next line, even though you know what is written there is going to make your skin crawl and certain unmentionable muscles tighten! That, in my opinion, is a skill to be admired. Tension. Only word good enough to describe what De Cusack creates. Add to the growing sense of terror and doom a well devised future world and we may be seeing what Blade Runner may have looked like had the replicants been sexually infected psychopaths...
A (skull) cracking read, an infectious style of writing, what more do you need to know? Give this story a go... if you're brave enough!”
