The Lost Gods

In this post-apocalyptic thrill ride, our hero, Jesse, navigates an unsettling world wherein all hope is lost after hoards of “reanimates,” infest the planet. The swan song of the human race was short and brutal. An endless army of undead flowed out of Iraq and overwhelmed NATO forces. Soon after, the nations of the world fell apart. All seemed lost. Jesse, a championship wrestler and scholar, and his childhood friend Adam, a gutter-punk and handy man, are the only two living residents of Silverdale, Washington. Safe behind the walls of their ramshackle fort, their only worry is finding food and keeping their sanity. One night, Jesse receives a strange vision from an unknown source. A supernatural scream rips out of the forest and echoes through their small town. Their sense of safety is shattered and the two must investigate to find answers. Are Jesse and Adam the only living residents in Silverdale? Are they the last men on Earth, or is there another chapter in the roller coaster tale of human history? The Lost Gods is a gritty, post-apocalyptic tale of survival. It is a biting critique of life in our consumer culture. Jesse is a man out of place, an epic hero trapped in a soft, materialistic time. Read The Lost Gods to find out if Jesse can save humanity from a quick and bitter end.
