THEY ALL DIED SCREAMING by Kristopher Triana
They All Died Screaming is a plague novel by Splatterpunk Award-Winning author Kristopher Triana. It is a pitch black book about the lowly and downtrodden being the last people on earth.
Description
It’s called The Scream.
Once you get it, you simply cannot stop screaming. You can’t eat or sleep. You slowly go more insane until you can’t stand to be alive a second longer.
When The Scream hits Chuck’s city, it creates more than a few inconveniences for him. He’s a chronically unemployed man and all he wants to do is get drunk and hang out with his neighbor, Leslie, the loudmouthed alcoholic everyone else hates. But when The Scream runs rampant at their local bar, they’re forced to journey through a city in chaos. Joined by a bitter bartender, a dockside prostitute, a conspiracy theorist, and a homeless man, this group of misfits is thrown together for the apocalypse.
Is The Scream a virus? A neurological phenomenon? A biological weapon?
But there’s another story here. When a boy is kidnapped at a shopping mall, a strange man wants his help raising veal and brings him to a rural pig farm. As the boy grows to identify with his captor, the man’s flesh begins to rot, and the boy must take on extra workaround the farm—including going out on his first hunt.
