About This Book
When the world ends, most people assume the dead are the worst of it. Captain Stone is about to find out how wrong that assumption can be. Stranded in the waters off south Florida with a ragtag group of survivors, he discovers that the collapse of civilization has opened the door to far older, far hungrier things. The Dark Reset: The Hunger blends zombie apocalypse survival with classic urban fantasy monsters, raising the stakes beyond simple survival into something stranger and more unsettling — because when you can no longer trust what's human, every shadow carries a different kind of threat.
What sets this opening volume apart is its willingness to layer genres without losing tension. G.E. Moore builds a world that feels grounded in recognizable Florida geography and survival logistics, then steadily peels back the familiar until the rules no longer hold. The pacing rewards patient readers — early chapters establish character and stakes before the full scope of this new world reveals itself. For readers who have grown comfortable with zombie fiction, The Hunger delivers the satisfying shock of realizing the genre they thought they knew has just gotten considerably more dangerous.
