The Feeding

It's time to eat. After spending eight years in prison as an accessory to murder, Joe Gott was counting the days until the end of his parole so he could get away from this lousy town and everyone in it. As if it would be that easy. The mistakes he made left their mark, penetrating the barrier between this world and the next. Now life has reached its end, the world overrun with shrieking, bloodthirsty nightmares, each one more terrifying than the next. Embittered, riddled with scars both inside and out, Joe falls in with a small band of survivors struggling to stay off the menu of hell run amok.
The months turn into years and he is certain that this is the end of humankind. Until he meets Bennett. Joe knows exactly what Bennett is (not a he but definitely an it) and wants nothing more than to put a bullet right between its eyes. But Bennett seems to be the only thing willing to help keep the earth and Joe from going completely extinct. Bennett also has answers. Answers that have eluded Joe for most of his life, since before his incarceration. Can Bennett be trusted? What is the connection between Bennett and Joe and why is the fate of humanity resting on it?
