Slack Jaw

A joyful celebration turning to ashes. Can she save her beloved without becoming a monster?

Aran Islands, Ireland. Samantha Prendergast yearns to belong. With no family to call her own, the commercial skipper prays the woman she loves will accept the engagement ring nestled in her pocket. And when the answer is yes, she and her bride-to-be sail to Galway—and straight into a city afflicted with a terrifying sickness.

Taking refuge in a pub and leaving desperate victims trapped outside, Samantha’s gut twists when her soft-hearted fiancée is horrified by their life-saving actions. And though her brutal efforts allow them to escape back home, the infection has arrived ahead of them to turn faithful friends into slavering fiends.

As death closes in, will Samantha succumb to madness and guilt?

Slack Jaw is a heartrending book in the Weep post-apocalyptic science fiction series. If you like flawed-but-dogged heroines, nightmarish survival tales, and striving for redemption, then you’ll adore Eoin Brady’s storm-tossed nail-biter.
