A bone-chilling dystopian horror fantasy, now in development as a major motion picture.

Humanity has been devoured to the edge of extinction by Shivers— nightmarish creatures with an insatiable hunger, bound to torment their hosts until they finally feed.

The last morsels of humankind cling to life in a decaying gothic-esque city, surviving only by the ritual of exile—a desperate measure now failing.

Anthem, the Exilist, is charged with capturing these eldritch horrors and banishing them beyond the city’s great walls. But Anthem harbors his own Shiver, and its hunger grows more uncontrollable by the day.

As new threats reach a breaking point for the city, Anthem must venture beyond the walls in a desperate search for a remedy.

Faced with unimaginable horrors, Anthem’s journey is a thrilling, pensive, relentless struggle to conquer the monsters in our shadows. What he finds is so much more.

If you loved Stephen King’s The Stand, Robert McCammon’s Swan Song, or Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower, you’ll be captivated by this thrilling and thought-provoking post-apocalyptic horror classic!
