A
Quiet Apocalypse
by
Dave Jeffery
Genre:
Dystopian Horror
The
end is hear...
A
mutant strain of meningitis has wiped out most of mankind. The few
who have survived the fever are now deaf.
Bitter
with loss and terrified to leave the city known as Cathedral, the
inhabitants rely on The Samaritans, search teams sent out into the
surrounding countryside. Their purpose, to hunt down and enslave the
greatest commodity on Earth, an even smaller group of people immune
to the virus, people who can still hear.
People
like me.
My
name is Chris.
This
is my story.
“A
Quiet Apocalypse is told from the perspective of ex-schoolteacher
Chris, a hearing survivor. He has lost everything, including his
freedom, and through his eyes we learn of what it is like to live as
a slave in this terrible new world of fear and loss. I was keen to
write a piece that preyed upon people’s traditional misconceptions
of deafness as an illness, and the imposition of ‘hearing’ norms.
It is a story that has poignancy in any understanding of the
struggles of minority groups.” – Author, Dave Jeffery

A
Quiet Apocalypse Book 2
CATHEDRAL
... The world has changed. So have the rules.
In
the silence of a quiet apocalypse, there is Cathedral. It is a city
like no other, sanctuary for the survivors of a terrible plague that
has deafened the world. The walls protect the small community.
Rituals and laws maintain order to prevent a return to chaos.
But
Cathedral is a dangerous and complex place. For citizens like Sarah
and newcomer Paul it can be either home or prison.
They
just have to decide where their loyalties lie…
