  TORTURES OF THE DAMNED

  Hunter Shea

  “Old-school horror.”—Jonathan Maberry

  SHOCK . . .

  First, the electricity goes—plunging the East Coast in darkness after a devastating nuclear attack. Millions panic. Millions die. They are the lucky ones.

  AFTER SHOCK . . .

  Next, the chemical weapons take effect—killing or contaminating everything alive. Except a handful of survivors in a bomb shelter. They are the damned.

  HELL IS FOR HUMANS

  Then, the real nightmare begins.

  Hordes of rats force two terrified families out of their shelter—and into the savage streets of an apocalytic wasteland. They are not alone.

  Vicious, chemical-crazed animals hunt in packs. Roaming gangs of the sick and dying are barely recognizable as human. These are the times that try men’s souls. These are the tortures that tear families apart. This is hell on earth. The rules are simple:

  Kill or die.
