Humanity's fate in hands of characters

It’s time to eat…

After spending eight years in prison as an accessory to murder, Joe Gott was counting the days until the end of his parole so he could get away from this lousy town and everyone in it.

As if it would be that easy.

The mistakes he made left their mark, penetrating the barrier between this world and the next. Now life has reached its end, the world overrun with shrieking, bloodthirsty nightmares, each one more terrifying than the next.

Embittered, riddled with scars both inside and out, Joe falls in with a small band of survivors struggling to stay off the menu of hell run amok. The months turn into years and he is certain that this is the end of humankind.

Until he meets Bennett.

Joe knows exactly what Bennett is (not a he but definitely an it) and wants nothing more than to put a bullet right between its eyes. But Bennett seems to be the only thing willing to help keep the earth and Joe from going completely extinct. Bennett also has answers. Answers that have eluded Joe for most of his life, since before his incarceration.

Can Bennett be trusted? What is the connection between Bennett and Joe and why is the fate of humanity resting on it?


About the Author:
 Melissa Groeling didn’t know she had an accent until she moved from New Jersey to Philadelphia. She thought everyone spoke the same way, called things by the same name…that is, until she got into her first debate with a Pennsylvanian over a “sub” or a “hoagie.” This soon led to other debates: jimmies versus sprinkles. Pork roll versus Taylor ham. It all became quite the struggle, a fight not to conform. Boldly trekking onwards, she knew she preferred a sub, sprinkles on her ice cream and Taylor ham for breakfast. So she kept at it, much like her writing. 

Being a hardcore reader (thanks to those endless days in the library with her mom) helped shape her desire to produce stories of her own. To this day, there’s no one genre in which she dwells solely. How can anyone stay locked in the same place? Sooner or later, something else always creeps in. *cue the scary music* 

    Drop her line sometime. She’ll happily talk to you about tea (oh yes, she’s a tea drinker off-set only by those fancy-shmancy mochas from Starbucks), the New York Giants (a die-hard fan), chocolate (the dark kind, thanks), and cupcake recipes, because really, without icing, the world is just a muffin.
