[The Rot 01] • They Rot

**THEY FIGHT. THEY LIVE. THEY ROT.**

Eight years ago an infection hit London, before spreading outwards. 90% of the population was either contained by the military, trampled during the riots, or infected by the disease.

*A disease that came to be known as** The Rot**.*

Colin Bolton survived the incident but not without losing everything he held dear to him** **–**** his life, his love, and his humanity.

Now, he’s living at a farmhouse, acting as a bodyguard for a new surrogate family. Life is stable. He’s making do. He’s *surviving*. That is… until a vagrant scavenger comes knocking at the door, desperate for food and water.

An encounter that will spin Colin’s life into chaos once more, bringing him face to face with a murderous family, the dead and the dying, and the failures of his past.

*THEY ROT is the first book in a brutal new series of post-apocalyptia set in Great Britain. It’s brought to you by Willcocks and Kondor, two of the groundbreaking authors behind the iTunes chart-busting podcast, The Other Stories, and the story studio, Hawk & Cleaver - A digital story studio bringing you the best new stories to watch, read, sniff, and absorb.*
