Slowly We Rot

Slowly We Rot

"SLOWLY WE ROT blew the back of my mind out. Hands down the single best zombie novel I have ever read."--Brian Keene, author of The Rising

â€œShocking, emotional, and punctuated by moments of brutal savagery, SLOWLY WE ROT contains some of the most frightening scenes in recent horror fiction. If you enjoy zombie stories, youâ€™ll love this book. If you believe thereâ€™s no life left in the zombie subgenre, Bryan Smith is about to prove you wrong. SLOWLY WE ROT is a searing, stunning triumph.â€
--Jonathan Janz, author of The Nightmare Girl and Savage Species

Long after the zombie apocalypse wiped out most of the human race, a young man named Noah resides in a remote mountain cabin. Several years have passed since he last saw another human being. The long period of isolation and loneliness has fostered a deep despair in Noah, who also struggles with suicidal impulses. But Noah is a man who was struggling even before the end of the world, a seemingly helpless slave to his addictions. When the vindictive sister he has long believed dead unexpectedly returns, events transpire that prompt him to leave his mountain refuge and embark on a cross-country trek to find the lost love of his life. It doesn't matter that sheâ€™s probably long dead. He just needs a purpose again and this is it. Along the way, he experiences moments of hope and profound tragedy. Soon Noahâ€™s sanity begins to fray and his ability to distinguish between fantasy and reality starts to disintegrate. Through it all, he keeps trying to reach the one he lost long ago. And heâ€™ll continue no matter what, even if it costs him his life, because itâ€™s a big, empty world and this is all he has.

"Sure, there are flesh-eating zombies in Bryan Smithâ€™s gut-punch of a novel, SLOWLY WE ROT, but in telling the tale of one manâ€™s nightmarish journey through a post-apocalyptic landscape, Smith reminds us of the most brutal truth of all: the worst monsters dwell inside us."
â€“ Tim Waggoner, author of LIKE DEATH and EAT THE NIGHT

â€œSLOWLY WE ROT sneaks up on you like the walking dead. It opens in familiar territory, and then, slowly and methodically, sheds the trappings of the genreâ€¦ piece by bloody piece. Bryan Smithâ€™s latest is bleak and brutal, an uncompromising and completely unpredictable genre-bender. As heartfelt as it is batshit, purple sky crazy, SLOWLY WE ROT belongs on the shelf next to Brian Keeneâ€™s THE RISING.â€
