Four best friends, one music festival, and a cooler filled with human organs: this summer is about to get gory.
Jennifer’s Body meets Riverdale in this new sapphic horror standalone from New York Times bestselling author Kayla Cottingham.
Five years ago, the melting of arctic permafrost released a pathogen of unknown origin into the atmosphere, causing a small percentage of people to undergo a transformation that became known as the Hollowing. Those impacted slowly became intolerant to normal food and were only able to gain sustenance by consuming the flesh of other human beings. Those who went without flesh quickly became feral, turning on their friends and family.
However, scientists were able to create a synthetic version of human meat that would satisfy the hunger of those impacted by the Hollowing. As a result, humanity slowly began to return to normal, albeit with lasting fear and distrust for the people they'd pejoratively dubbed ghouls.
Zoey, Celeste, Valeria, and Jasmine are all ghouls living in Southern California. As a last hurrah before their graduation, they decided to attend a musical festival in the desert. They have a cooler filled with hard seltzers and syn-flesh and are ready to party. But on the first night of the festival, Val goes feral and ends up killing and eating a boy.
