A deadly contagion spreads throughout the world, while scientists grapple to find a cure before it's too late... Dr. Monica Cucinotta works on the front lines of a hospital in Cassino, Italy, dealing with a deadly contagion that causes thorns to erupt along the surface of the body. When Monica becomes infected with the virus and must leave the hospital, she begins a journey across the dark landscape of a pandemic world where she meets the best and worst of humanity that tests her belief in science and faith as she struggles to return home to her loved ones.
Gregory Bastianelli is the author of the novels, Shadow Flicker, Snowball, Loonies, and Jokers Club. His novella The Lair of the Mole People appeared in the pulp anthology Men & Women of Mystery Vol. II. Publisher's Weekly described his Shadow Flicker as a "dark disturbing treat." Booklist stated: "This is a gripping horror story from an author who deserves a wider audience." Publisher's Weekly said of Snowball, that "Readers will be riveted by this genuinely scary holiday phantasmagoria." Rue Morgue Magazine said: "If you want Halloween-infused Christmas terror tale ... Bastianelli has got you covered ... with several feet of blood soaked snow." Horrornews.net has referred to Bastianelli as the "messiah of macabre." He graduated from the University of New Hampshire where he studied writing under instructors Mark Smith, Thomas Williams and Theodore Weesner. He worked for nearly two decades at a small daily newspaper where the highlights of his career were interviewing shock rocker Alice Cooper and B-movie icon Bruce Campbell. He became enchanted with the stories of Ray Bradbury as a young child, and his love of horror grew with the likes of Richard Matheson, Robert Bloch, Stephen King and Ramsey Campbell. He lives in Dover, NH. He enjoys traveling, especially to Italy where he has visited his ancestral home and hiked the Path of the Gods on the Amalfi Coast and to the top of Mt. Vesuvius. He is a member of the Horror Writers Association and the New England Horror Writers.
