About this ebook
Walking Dead meets Attack on Titan in this post-apocalyptic YA graphic novel about a world overrun by nightmarish, parasitic giants, and the extreme lengths humans must take to fight them.
The world belongs to the dead now.
Long ago, humanity thrived and the earth was populated by eight billion people. But then came the manticore: giants with insatiable hunger who feed by assimilating corpses into their body. These giants were once ordinary animals—a possum, a dog, even a human being. But once infected, the hunger begins. And as a manticore feeds, it grows.
Acorn, a teenager living in the fortified town of Sanctuary, has been taught how to survive in this world overrun by manticore, though he’s never seen one. When a young man escapes Sanctuary with an unspeakable plan—to become a manticore himself—Acorn joins the search party. Leaving home for the first time, he soon comes face-to-face with the nightmarish monsters that have brought mankind to the brink of extinction.
