A desperate man thinks he's found salvation in a small rural town ruled by the Fat Man. The Fat Man is willing to let him stay as long as he can help them find salt, and the only place he knows where to find some is in the city, where mutants lurk the streets, searching for human flesh.

When an alien hive lands in Spotsylvania County, VA, Amanda Jett and her daddy are thrust into a nightmare landscape filled with body snatchers, brain-cracking fungi, crypto-monsters, melonhead children, mad scientists, and the tentacle-wielding Hive itself.

Unbeknownst to her, the attacks are the beginning of an invasion, one that could wipe out all of mankind.

I’m going to need a lot of allies if I’m going to make it through alive.

But the next few months brings its own set of problems, including blizzards, banshees, and rolling balls of death.
