The dead walk. The living starve. And in the wasteland, corruption wears a crown.
Decades after nuclear fire scorched the earth, the survivors of northern Mexico cling to life in rusted villages and broken faith. Raiders prowl. Plagues spread. Corpses claw their way back from the grave. In the ruins of San Judas, Tomás Ortega fights to protect his children, Diego and Alma, alongside his partner Monica. But when his daughter falls ill and the graves begin to stir, Tomás discovers the source of the horror: a glowing pit of sludge that whispers his name.
The Entity promises power-enough to protect, enough to heal. But every gift carries a cost. As Tomás takes its strength into his veins, the villagers begin to fear him as much as they follow him. Meanwhile, the White Lords of Goodness, a militant order of zealots, march across the wasteland, cleansing the land with fire. To them, Tomás is abomination incarnate.
The Filth King is Book Three of the Dead World Post-Apocalyptic Cycle-a brutal horror tale where family, faith, and decay collide in the radioactive heart of the wasteland. Perfect for fans of The Walking Dead, The Stand, and The Toxic Avenger, this novella is a grotesque story of sacrifice, corruption, and the price of survival in a world already dead.
