📝 Description: The De-Evolution Bug

Vaibhav Mukim presents a narrative set in Stillwater, Oklahoma, where the town faces an attack from its own residents who have lost their humanity. These individuals act as efficient predators capable of infecting a block in thirty minutes and the entire city within days. The story follows the Parker family on Rogers Drive as they attempt to survive while America quarantines itself permanently. Mukim explores the collapse of human identity and civilization through this crisis, raising questions about whether zombies are the only threat or if something more sinister is at work. The book draws on horror and supernatural fiction traditions to examine the mechanics of infection and societal breakdown. It focuses on the immediate physical dangers faced by ordinary people rather than abstract philosophical debates. The narrative structure tracks the rapid escalation of the epidemic from a local incident to a global catastrophe. Readers interested in detailed biological explanations or historical non-fiction will find this work unsuitable. It is designed for those who enjoy fast-paced supernatural thrillers that prioritize tension and survival over academic analysis.
