About This Book

A pandemic of the Dragonscale plague is destroying civilisation: people spontaneously combust as a spore consumes them. Harper Grayson, a school nurse, discovers she is infected. She encounters the Fireman—a mysterious man who has learned to control the fire within—and must survive the collapse of society and the murderous vigilante groups hunting the infected. A sweeping post-apocalyptic horror novel.

About the Author

Joe HillAmerican

Joe Hill is an American author of horror, dark fantasy, and supernatural fiction. Born Joseph Hillstrom King in 1972—the son of Stephen King and Tabitha King—Hill deliberately withheld his famous parentage for the first years of his publishing career in order to establish his work on its own merits. His debut short story collection 20th Century Ghosts (2005) won the Bram Stoker Award and the British Fantasy Award, and established him as a major voice in contemporary horror independent of his family name.
