Parin

Conor Stasik is going insane, and it’s easy to see why. His best friend is a zombie, the woman he loves is leaving him to return to the fleet, and an evil cosmic god named Parin is slowly turning him into a deranged killer. On top of all that, he’s trying to stop a Parin-worshipping cult from spreading a virus which turns corpses into bloodthirsty killing machines through an ancient culling ritual called the Harvest. Sprinkle in some man-eating snow monsters, a psychotic clown from another reality, and enemies of humanity at every turn, and he’s bound to crack eventually. The question is, what happens then? Joseph Williams received a Master’s degree in Creative Writing from Wayne State University. He has previously released three short story collections and three other novels, The Hunt (Severed Press, 2012), Stasik Origins (Severed Press, 2013), and Bunyan Undead (Severed Press, 2014). He lives in Farmington Hills, Michigan with his family.
