This Rotten World: Let It Burn

Jacy Morris delivers the second installment of the This Rotten World series, focusing on a desperate struggle for survival against both nature and the undead. The narrative follows two distinct groups of survivors in Oregon during a severe winter. One group remains trapped in a structure they built themselves, fighting to endure the cold. Another group moves across the snow-covered landscape, leaving bloody tracks as they flee an advancing army of the dead. The Pacific Ocean represents their only hope for safety, yet the distance feels insurmountable under the weight of ice and snow. Morris, who self-published this work in 2021, constructs a tense atmosphere where environmental hostility mirrors the supernatural threat. The story examines the fragility of human resilience when faced with an avalanche of corpses and freezing temperatures. Readers who enjoy post-apocalyptic fiction with a focus on physical endurance and atmospheric dread will find this volume compelling. Those seeking lighthearted horror or complex romantic subplots may find the relentless grimness difficult to sustain. The book suits fans of survivalist narratives where the setting acts as an antagonist equal to the monsters.
