Fiend

Peter Stenson's Fiend delivers a gritty, high-stakes descent into a post-apocalyptic nightmare where a sudden zombie outbreak collides with the harsh reality of crystal meth addiction. The story follows a group of addicts who emerge from a bender to find civilization overrun by the undead, discovering that their chemical dependency has bizarrely left them among the few survivors. The atmosphere is claustrophobic, bleak, and relentlessly visceral, aiming for a psychological brand of dread that equates the consuming hunger of the undead with the internal rot of substance abuse. Striking a raw, uncompromising tone, this novel suits readers looking for dark, character-driven horror that twists traditional apocalyptic tropes into something deeply unsettling.
