Well, this isn't good.
One second, everyone was going about their own business, and the next, Jamaican gas bombs shaped like monkeys were falling from the sky. Now, three years later, Patrick Deen's world is all collapsing skyscrapers, bloodthirsty maniacs, and a daily fight for survival.
Frankly, it's exhausting.
Supplies are running low, and fellow survivors Patrick and Ben can't hold out much longer. But before they die, they're going to cross one last item off their bucket list.
They're going to Disney World.
Apocalypticon is a hilarious and horrifying odyssey through post-apocalyptic America...a story about a raucous road trip through the Deep South that's full of danger and disaster as Patrick and Ben encounter a slew of odd characters, from zombie politicians and deranged survivalists to madcap monks and a weird old fortune teller who doesn't have a lot of good news.
And it looks like Patrick may be hiding the real reason for their mission to the Magic Kingdom...
Never before has there been such an incredible and enjoyable story of survival, friendship, machetes, and pudding.

Clayton Smith is a writer of speculative fiction living in Chicago, where he has become exceedingly good at cursing the winters. He writes novels, short stories, and plays, mostly. His work has been featured on the popular Internet site Amazon, and he has had plays produced rather mercilessly in St. Louis and New York City.
Clayton tends to inject a healthy dose of magical realism into his stories, which distresses his characters to no end. One day, they will likely rebel against him, but for now, they're all fairly busy managing various disasters, villains, and the occasional zombie apocalypse.
