Something Scary

01
King Sorrow by Joe Hill

Manhunt by Gretchen Felker-Martin
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆
In a world devastated by catastrophe, Beth and Fran roam the ruins of the New England coastline, hunting feral men and harvesting their organs in a desperate bid for survival—and to avoid sharing the same horrific fate.
Robbie has learned a different lesson. Armed and fiercely self-reliant, he trusts no one and expects betrayal from everyone.
When a violent encounter throws their paths together, the three reluctant survivors form an uneasy alliance. As they travel through a brutal landscape populated by fanatics, predators, and the dangerously privileged remnants of the old world, they must learn to rely on one another to stay alive.
Facing feral hordes, ruthless enemies, and the emotional scars they carry with them, Beth, Fran, and Robbie discover that surviving the apocalypse may be easier than learning to trust another person.
