The comet didn't destroy the world. It changed it...slowly, and violently.
When a dark-orange comet freezes itself in the sky, the world slips into a permanent twilight. Time fractures. Radios crackle with static. Sirens scream across empty streets. And people begin waking from harmless naps with a red rash around their eyes... and an urge to kill that feels less like madness and more like possession.
Kent watches his family turn in front of him. Ninety-five percent of the world becomes something else. Something that hunts. Something that learns. Something that smiles so sinister it's uncanny.
As storms rise out of nowhere and the ocean claws at the shore, Kent fights to survive in a world where the infected gather on beaches during hurricanes, scream through the night until concrete shakes, and use tools with a precision that makes them even more terrifying. The sky tells you it's the end. And every day feels like the world is holding its breath.
Kent writes his story in a battered notebook while hiding in abandoned buildings, climbing collapsing waterslides during storms, and listening to the ocean drag entire crowds of the infected into its waves. He doesn't know if anyone is left to read his words. He doesn't know if he deserves to survive. And he doesn't know what the comet really is a warning, a weapon, or something alive.
But he does know one thing: the world didn't end when the comet arrived. It began to unravel. And something is still pulling the strings.
Madness From Above is a visceral, atmospheric horror novel about guilt, survival, and the slow, suffocating collapse of humanity under a sky that refuses to change - a story of storms, oceans, and the terrifying beauty of the end.
