Fear. Paranoia. Dread.
It's New Year's Eve, 1999. Let's party. While Y2K celebrations are planned and the clocks creep toward midnight, professional misanthrope and all-around nobody Ross Orringer is finally coming to terms with his own stagnation. Twenty-six years old and still turning up to the same college keggers, still peddling the same sleazy horror films with his occasional best friend Preston, and still living in the shadow of his younger sister's success, Ross often feels like just another Gen-X casualty, awaiting his own eulogy. To make matters worse, strange things are afoot. Ross is being photographed, monitored, and whispered over by strangers, friends, and family alike. As his terror grows, and the New Year-along with Preston's New Year's party-approaches, Ross realizes that the coming Millennium may be more ominous than even he could have imagined. Because tonight, the streets have been closed, the crews have set up their cameras and equipment, gray makeup has been applied, and decisions have been made. It's the end of the world as we know it. Things are bound to get weird. Come celebrate the Apocalypse with this Special Twentieth Anniversary Edition of Jason S. Hornsby's cult-classic zombie novel-with an all-new edit and foreword by the author. Every Sigh, The End remains a visionary work of apocalyptic horror, wicked humor, and turn-of-the-century dread.

Iconic...[Hornsby's] novel is sure to be an interpretation that is considered now and by future audiences as an astute understanding of the jaded, apathetic paranoia and selfish, bitter ego of the late 1990s, as well as a distinctly brilliant addition to the zombie genre.
- Gabrielle Faust, author of the Eternal Vigilance series I've read and reread this novel multiple times, and I'm still amazed at how it gets under your skin...One of the best books I've ever read.
- Debra Collins, author of A Marriage of Convenience Jason Hornsby's Every Sigh, The End may be the best zombie novel I have read. It feels like a grand truth is peeking through the enigmatic and conspiratorial fog that suffuses the novel. It all seems to mean something...
- Devon Kappa, author of None May Say This is the most unusual zombie novel I have ever read...creative, imaginative, and intriguing.
- Steven W. Woeste, author of To Wake the Dead There is something in the power of this novel that has kept Every Sigh, The End on my top shelf, sharing space with books like John Gardner's Grendel and Mark Z. Danielewski's House Of Leaves.
- Thom Brannan, author of Nikola Tesla and the Emperor of Plagues This is a book about America and the world, and makes the year 2000, even decades later, seem suddenly relevant and frightening again.
- Brendan Howard, author of Dave: The Adventures of Rip Tapioca and Co.
