Barry Merch wasn’t planning to survive an apocalypse with a group of strangers stranded in rural Oklahoma. He wasn’t planning for an apocalypse, at all! Can this overweight, pill-popping, salesman with a bad back rely on a hard-partying racecar driver, a quirky drifter, and a deaf teenager to help him survive this horrific version of their previous life?  Before they can overcome the shock of a decimated Earth, a new terror will present itself and they will begin to wonder if the lucky ones were the ones that didn’t make it. Surviving this apocalypse isn’t about water, food, and shelter.  The real danger is hungry, and it's on the hunt. What to expect... A grimdark horror story with realistic characters struggling to survive an apocalyptic landscape while facing individual physical, mental, and emotional limitations. This long, unraveling, tale will shift from the mundane struggles of an apocalypse into an ever-intensifying horror story with growing elements of fantasy. An action-thriller with tons of horror and suspense. There are plenty of fights, chases, guns, and explosions splattered with blood, guts, and WTF! Terrifying, and twisted, antagonists that are formidable and relentless.
