Addiction & Pestilence (2nd ed.)

It Has Begun.

In this thrilling modern-day retelling of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, an ominous, otherworldly figure releases Pestilence, the ‘White Horseman’ which unleashes a devastating plague upon New York, where it soon spreads like wildfire.

Meanwhile, Drew Murphy, a Boston E.M.T. and former Marine, is haunted by his past and the daily stress of his job. After years of using alcohol to mask the pain, Drew is forced to confront the darkest aspects of himself when his wife walks out following an explosive argument and, as if things couldn’t get worse, he is called to his ailing mother’s bedside.

Once in Florida, the pandemic reaches biblical proportions, and Drew watches as the world is plunged into chaos. He must now make the long journey home on foot, encountering others along the way— each with their own hidden addictions. Can Drew and the others overcome their vices to survive a disintegrating society to save their family, as well as humanity? Or will they simply succumb?

Addiction & Pestilence is a compelling look at addiction and the perseverance of the human spirit. Don’t miss the exciting first installment in E.M. Kelly’s Slaying Dragons: A Journey through Hell.
