THE SHOT WORKED. UNTIL IT DIDN’T.

The world changed when a miracle weight-loss injection swept the globe. Healthier bodies. Happier lives. Until the side effects began.

Now, years after the collapse, the eastern states are a patchwork of safe zones and silent ruins. Survivors call them Slimbies—those still walking, still starving, long after their last dose.

Ben is a quiet young man with a past he won’t talk about and a dog named Girl he won’t leave behind. When he flees the Delaware Safe Zone in search of something real, he finds a world full of scavengers, rebels, cults, and worse—answers. Along the way, he meets people worth saving. And people worth losing.

At the edge of every town, a choice waits: survive, surrender, or burn it all down.

SLIMBIES is a character-driven post-apocalyptic survival novel that blends dark humor, raw grief, and biting social commentary. Think The Last of Us meets Fight Club, with the tone of Station Eleven.
