Summary

As a pandemic threatens to wipe out humanity, scientists must escort an immune old man through a deadly American hellscape in this apocalyptic thriller. 
 
The year is 2075, and a new virus has decimated more than 99% of the global population. The lone hope to escape extinction rests on the unready shoulders of Dr. Justin Kaes and a small team of specialists from the CDC. The blood of a 102-year-old man holds the only known cure. Unfortunately, he couldn’t care less whether humanity lives or dies. And he certainly doesn’t feel like taking a road trip to California. 
 
On the way to the coast lie murderous tribes, cults, voracious animals, and the toxic remains of civilization. The ragtag group face a world gone backwards, technology and industry reduced to rusting garbage. Their mission seems doomed . . . But there are a few decent souls still out there—in a place called Plaguesville, USA.

    William Fryer Harvey (1885-1937) was an English writer of short stories, most notably in the mystery and horror genres, in which many of his works are recognized as masterpieces of the genre. "Miss Cornelius" is one of W. F. Harvey's most acclaimed works. The elderly spinster, Miss Cornelius appears to be the cause of a range of strange supernatural phenomena which are troubling the house where she is temporarily lodging. But when Andrew Saxon, a local schoolmaster, accuses her of being behind the mysterious haunting she turns on him with a terrifying curse. Following this the focus of the strange and terrifying phenomena mysteriously shifts to the Saxon household... and worse still, it seems as though the awful powers have transferred from Miss Cornelius to Saxon's beloved wife, Molly. As so often with W. F. Harvey's works, there is a terrible and astounding twist at the end of the story.

As time goes on he slides increasingly into this other side of his personality until it finally takes over, with disastrous consequences. As the determined Mr Utterson races to uncover the secret of the good Dr Jekyll’s sinister new companion, the cosy Victorian world of wealth and comfort is discovered to be under siege.
