Blood Crazy: Aten Unbound: Nick and friends commence a new set of post-apocalyptic adventures

Simon Clark returns with Blood Crazy, continuing the post-apocalyptic saga of Nick Aten. Four years after the initial outbreak killed everyone over nineteen, particularly targeting their own children, a new threat emerges. Nick and his crew travel toward New Blood City, a settlement promised to be run by rational-minded Creosote-Plus Types who offer electricity and hospitals. Familiar faces like Sarah, Jack, Tamsin, Piper the dog, Martin Del-Coffey, Herman, and the intimidating Tug Slatter join this dangerous convoy through the Badlands. The journey tests their survival skills as they seek fresh supplies and a new alliance for Kirk Sutton. The line between friend and foe blurs frequently during these hair-raising confrontations. The traditional enemy of old-style Creosotes remains a potent danger, proving that the fight for survival is far from over. Clark, noted by Brian Keene as a creator of some of the best horror novels of the 2000s, delivers a narrative akin to a viral disaster. This work suits readers who enjoy gritty, character-driven apocalyptic fiction with supernatural undertones. It may not appeal to those seeking lighthearted adventure or purely scientific sci-fi explanations for the collapse. The story culminates in a revelation that answers a question haunting humanity since its dawn. Nick finds an answer that changes everything, marked by the chilling declaration that nothing in this world will ever be the same again.
