This could be a real life horror. Imagine making your way through a violent protest trying to get your infant medicine before an asthma attack kills him. Antifa, white supremacists, you get the idea. A race war. It's amazing what a mother will do to save her baby. Or not.
The narrator was amazing too. This is one of those books where you can really sympathize with the characters.

This story kicked me repeatedly in the guts. What a horribly brutal little tale. While I must say that the story did not go as I thought it would, I LOVE the way it ended.

I was sent this book, by the author, in exchange for an honest review.
This book, while being novella length packs a punch. From the shocking ways things are described, to the raw emotions the characters have, this book is for sure a gut punch! While it deals with a heavy subject and the words that are used are heavy, these are things we’ve seen and experienced, so I think that mixing with the horror aspects this paints a truly painful story with a good resolution I feel. The tropes present (I can’t mention them cause spoilers) are done well and don’t feel forced and everything runs smooth here. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
Thank you, Mike, for the awesome book!

Wow. An exercise in absolute brutality populated with characters that beg for a violent end. Disturbing on a whole other level. It's reminiscent of the disgust and joy of retribution as in films like I Spit On Your Grave. Highly recommend. Mike Duke has hit a home run with this one.

Short and voilent
Not really what I prefer in horror. This is the stuff I try to avoid when watching the news. Too relevant to the violence in modern times.

This is a violent yet heartbreaking little novella that's quite descriptive, even when one doesn't want it to be. Not for the faint of heart.
