This is now. This is you. And surviving is only the beginning.

The land is a scorched sprawl of rubble and corpses. A strange glittering dust coats everything–and the dust hides a terrible secret. New horrors are taking root. Survivor Richard Jane crosses a burned and battered country in search of his son-his one hope.

A plane crash survivor questions sanity when the world that he has built for himself in a new town is suddenly thrown into doubt by terrifying discoveries and the revelations they bring about.

Enter the mind of a serial killer who believes he is the rightful son and heir to an ancient dynasty of flesh-eating monsters. Follow the frantic journey of a mother whose daughter is infected with the stuff of nightmare, and look through the eyes of Bo Mulvey, a man upon whom the fate and survival of the entire human race depends.

Conrad Williams, who is the future of horror, sets this apocalyptic novel in London. It’s an epic tale of history and destiny, desperation and desire, and atrocity and atonement. Like Clive Barker before him, Williams’ impact on both readers and the horror genre will be astounding. Indeed, his work “rivals the nastiest imagery of Edgar Allan Poe,” said Maxim.
