The Man Beside Him
The dead are everywhere, and stopping is its own kind of death.
Peter Hale is walking through the frozen remains of rural America toward his childhood home. He has lost his wife, his children, and everything he once believed could keep them safe. All that remains is the hope that someone from his family might still be alive.
Graves walks beside him.
Practical, relentless, and merciless when Peter hesitates, Graves understands what survival demands: keep moving, conserve every resource, and never let sentiment become a weakness. Those rules carry them across exposed highways, through abandoned towns, and past infected bodies that can lie dormant until sound or movement brings them violently awake.
But every mile costs Peter something. Food dwindles. Shelter fails. The road grows more dangerous, and the home pulling him forward may offer nothing except another loss.
With winter closing in and the infected never far behind, Peter must decide how much of himself he is willing to sacrifice to reach the end of the road.
The Man Beside Him is a bleak, intimate psychological zombie-horror novel about grief, survival, and what remains of a person after the world has taken everything else.
