Description
Chimera Skin is a new apocalyptic sci-fi short novel from Johnny Compton, Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of The Spite House, Devils Kill Devils, and Dead First.
Swanson, a mutated man struggling to maintain his sanity, is civilization's last hope. Our world has been decimated after a messianic alien unleashes hell on Earth during its failed attempt to “uplift” humanity. But Swanson may have figured out how to fight back, even if his plan forces him to leave the only planet he's ever known.
Chimera Skin is a short science-fiction horror novel in the vein of The Fly, The Thing, and I am Legend.
Advance Praise
“Invigorating… An absolute thrill of a reading experience.” – Chris Panatier, author of DAYTIDE and WORRY BOX
“What if we were punished for our continued denial of the self in pursuit of the promise of the stars? And how far would you go to save us? All at once a wonderfully weird western and a horrifyingly prescient cautionary tale, Chimera Skin is the kind of story that haunts every last cell. Finally, a True Grit for the freaks!” – Bridget D. Brave, author of HARVEST QUEEN
