Im-hooked Stories

Carrington was once just another city. Now it's a graveyard that breathes. A single mutated parasite turned the population into something unrecognizable - bodies twisted into mindless carriers, and in death, something worse. Fungal growths bloom from the fallen, releasing spores that drift through the air, infecting anyone unlucky enough to inhale them. Food is scarce. Safety is a myth. Survival is never guaranteed. Fifteen-year-old Zeyne is still alive - not by chance, but because of her older brother, a survivalist who once dreamed of the apocalypse... until it became real. Now, burdened by guilt and hunted by a world that won't stop changing, the two scavenge what remains of civilization, clinging to each other as everything else falls apart. But when the infection begins to evolve, and the line between food and death blurs even further, Zeyne is forced to face a terrifying question: How long can you survive in a world that's still growing?
