Life has become "Zombified." The air itself carries death or worse. A few hardy, starving souls band together to try to make sense of Life's new rulebook while holding on to what little "humanity" they have left.
Husk: A Tale of Human Hunger is a book that examines Lifes incomprehensible, insatiable and cannibalistic need to consume life. Set in the oddest zombie apocalypse imaginable, it follows the paths of several starving characters, all precariously balanced between lack and plenty, in their never ending search for more food.
After the reader is finished with this story, they may have to ask themselves an uncomfortable question: Am I alive, dead... or neither?
Husk: A Tale of Human Hunger is the first book in a trilogy. The second book will take the story in a whole new direction, resolving many of the conflicts left open in Husk. Expect the second book sometime in the summer...if the world survives!
Husk: A Tale of Human Hunger deals with mature subject matter, has strong language and is intended for a mature audience.
The main theme of the novel is the overriding emptiness in all people (for food, stuff, power, love, you name it) which is never questioned and can seemingly never be filled. The trilogy hopes to expose the alternative.
Like an unexpected olive pit on unsuspecting martini-teeth, Husk is intended to unsettle, both with its subject matter and style. The author hopes you enjoy the zombie apocalypse and disease he has constructed. He also hopes you appreciate the pre-existing human condition that puts anything the zombies could hope to accomplish to shame.
