⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
S O Lessey effectively merges the panic of a global plague with the atmospheric dread of gothic horror. The narrative’s strength lies in its dual focus: the tangible threat of a mutated virus and the eerie presence of daemons and cults obstructing the protagonist’s quest. William Huxley’s desperate journey across the Pacific adds kinetic energy, while the supernatural elements introduce a layer of inexplicable fear. This work suits readers who enjoy supernatural horror blended with pandemic thrillers, though those seeking purely scientific medical dramas may find the mystical intrusions distracting. It is a tense exploration of personal loss driving a race against extinction.
