There’s several kind of monster.

When Chase Daniels first sees the little female in umbrella socks tearing open up the Rottweiler, he’s not really too concerned. Being a longtime meth addict, he’s no stranger to horrifying, drug-fueled hallucinations.

But simply because he and his fellow junkies quickly discover, the little girl is usually no illusion. The end of the globe really is here.

The funny thing is, Chase’s life was over a long time before the about Fiend: A Novel apocalypse got here, his existence currently reduced to a stinking cellar apartment and a filthy mattress and an endless grind of buying and selling and using. He’s lied and cheated and stolen and damaged his parents’ hearts a thousand times. And he threw apart his only shot at sobriety a long time ago, when he find the embrace from the medication over the girl he still enjoys.

And in case your life’s currently shattered beyond any normal hopes of redemption…well, maybe the end from the world can be an chance. Maybe it’s a last chance for Run after to hit restart and become the man he once imagined being. Soon he’s fighting to reconnect with his lost love and thinking to become her hero among civilization’s ruins.

But is definitely salvation yet another pipe dream?

Propelled with a blistering first-person voice and having a powerfully convincing antihero, Fiend reaches once a riveting family portrait of habit, a pitch-black like tale, and a deep breathing on hope, redemption, and delusion-not to say one hell of the zombie novel.
