Double Black Diamond

The future is fucked and it is already here. Feral children stage raids on villas in the foothills. Poison Ivy prowls the suburbs for boys to inject. An ether-huffing doctor is dispatched south to help contain a strange epidemic. With murder legalized, teens compete to lose their victim cards. A mysterious stench terrorizes the residents of North Hadely, Indiana. Things might seem hopeless, but as society breaks down, new forms emerge, glowing green with mutant ingenuity. Double Black Diamond incubates nineteen such freaks, creatures evolved to scavenge the wastelands. From prehistoric jungles to radioactive waters, from the haunted ruins of the old country to the glittering horrors of the new, these stories run wild, feasting on the spoils.
