Madness Chronicles

The Final Outbreak: An Apocalyptic Thriller

“Put Patterson, King & Koontz together and then HIDE”
Animals everywhere are going mad.
A real-life parasite has been rewiring mammal brains for madness, and over half are already infected. Most don’t show symptoms because this parasite is often dormant. Like a ticking bomb, this puppet master has been patiently waiting for the right time to set off its hosts against the world.

That time is now!

A canceled flight due to a volcanic eruption and a violent animal attack at their port, almost cause Ted and TJ to miss their transatlantic cruise and a needed escape from their busy lives in the US.

But there will be no peace or tranquility on this cruise as something is very wrong: animals have started to attack for no apparent reason.

It will take Ted and TJ’s unique skills to not only survive their cruise, but to understand an apocalypse of madness which appears to have struck the whole world.

With other mammals outnumbering humans 10,000 to 1, is this the end?

See why readers/listeners call Madness...

“Shades of Zoo but scarier”

“in the ballpark with Michael Creighton”

“A fresh, unique, and exhilarating twist to the horror genre.”

Madness: An Apocalyptic-Horror Thriller

It wasn’t just the animals…People were going mad too.
Passengers and crew of the transatlantic cruise ship, Intrepid had hoped the threat of animal attacks and volcanic catastrophes had passed, and that their world of luxury and normalcy would return.

Ted and TJ just wanted to relax, after helping the ship’s crew and guests avert disaster. But something far worse loomed ahead of them and their ship.

The disease they feared, now affects humans. Without warning, the person you love could become a beast dead-set upon your violent murder.

No one is safe!

There’s nowhere to hide!

And if your loved-one has become parasitic, there’s only one thing you can do… Run!
