Rictus

As global cooling grips the Earth, man stays warm by burning everything: art, houses, and even his identity. One mysterious traveler in bear furs crosses a scavenged ruin with uncanny ease. This dweller, the last to leave, knows only of a city turned to tundra. With his soul entombed in ice, he barely recalls his own hardened past.

The crows and bears have grown gigantic and hostile now that man has moved on. The dweller must avoid getting eaten while tracking even better survivalists than himself—an extremist birdwatcher and righteous researchers from the crowded dystopias down south. In their tangled clash, all will find themselves horrified of each other on this merciless landscape of stone and frost. All their investigations will lead straight into the frozen heart of humanity.

Get "Rictus" now for a medical twist that will chill you to the marrow.
