The Rot
Something has happened to the world.
People are going mad, the very foundations of society are crumbling... Only Adam Keller, testing a prototype environment suit, apparently remains safe – but for how long?
Can anything be done, can any of it be reversed, before everything goes to Rot?
The latest post-apocalyptic tale from award-winning and bestselling author Paul Kane (the sellout Hooded Man, The Disease, The End of the End) presents a nightmarish vision of a possible future, blending social commentary with page-turning action. This is one that fans of The Road and The Walking Dead will really not want to miss!
‘Paul Kane is a first-rate storyteller.’ (Clive Barker – Bestselling author of Books of Blood & The Scarlet Gospels)
‘It seems there is no risk, no high-stakes gamble, he fears to take... Kane’s foot never gets even close to the brake pedal.’ (Peter Straub – Bestselling author of Mr X, In the Night Room and A Dark Matter)
‘Paul Kane knows how to make you want to avoid the shadows and the cracks in the pavement.’ (M.R. Carey – Bestselling author of The Girl With All the Gifts and Fellside)
