Life has become "Zombified." The air itself carries death or worse. A few hardy, starving souls band together to try to make sense of Life's new rulebook while holding on to what little "humanity" they have left.
Husk: A Tale of Human Hunger is a book that examines Life's incomprehensible, insatiable and cannibalistic need to consume life. Set in the oddest zombie apocalypse imaginable, it follows the paths of several starving characters, all precariously balanced between lack and plenty, in their never ending search for more "food."
After the reader is finished with this story, they may have to ask themselves an uncomfortable question: "Am I alive, dead . . . or neither?"
Husk: A Tale of Human Hunger is a book that examines Life's incomprehensible, insatiable and cannibalistic need to consume life. Set in the oddest zombie apocalypse imaginable, it follows the paths of several starving characters, all precariously balanced between lack and plenty, in their never ending search for more "food."
Husk: A Tale of Human Hunger is the first book in a trilogy. The second book will take the story in a whole new direction, resolving many of the conflicts left open in Husk. Expect the second book sometime in the summer...if the world survives!
The main theme of the novel is the overriding emptiness in all people (for food, stuff, power, love, you name it) which is never questioned and can seemingly never be filled. The trilogy hopes to expose the alternative.
Like an unexpected olive pit on unsuspecting martini-teeth, The book is intended to unsettle, both with its subject matter and style. The author hopes you enjoy the zombie apocalypse and disease he has constructed. He also hopes you appreciate the pre-existing human condition that puts anything the zombies could hope to accomplish to shame.

About the Author
Jonathan Logan Donovan is not dead, undead, alive or kind of alive. He exists somewhere in between in a state of bliss.
He invented a board game, composes music, studies history and chess in his spare time and is quite clever when he wants to be.
He inevitably gets into trouble when he talks so he has decided it is better to write a lot.
This is Jon's first stab at writing a novel. He has an unorthodox style that blends songwriting, poetry and just about everything else. He likes describing things...sometimes too much.
He has many tattoos and none of them suck...
He enjoys steak and a good milkshake more than almost any other thing in life. Studying a great chess game from an old or new master keeps him enraptured for days. He enjoys researching military campaigns and ancient history.
His favorite musicians are Radiohead with Thelonious Monk a close second...
He hates talking about himself. It again ineivitably leads to trouble...
