✦ Synopsis

Overview: The sweeping sickness, a global pandemic. Billions lie fallen, gripped by an unknown affliction. Hope is all the few survivors have. Hope that the collapsed will recover and wake again. But waking is when the real nightmare begins. A mystery illness sweeps the globe. Swifter and more virulent than anything ever recorded, enfolding the earth like a savage hand snatching a child’s marble. The City Flu in Britain. The Sweeping Sickness in America. Misnomers, semantics, swirls of the matador’s cloak, the names don’t matter. There isn’t time for that. Normal life is slipping its gears, sliding into unknown territory. The illness is never properly classified, identified or studied. The descent into disaster is too fast, the effects so debilitating that the impact is already catastrophic. Put simply, vast numbers of people become too ill to work and so things stop working. Horror is here, and greater horror lies ahead. Because the collapsed aren’t just unconscious, they’re changing. Recovery is still possible. The fallen may recover from their coma-like condition, their increasingly mutated state. If they come back, civilisation can be salvaged from catastrophe. But when the collapsed come back, the true Apocalypse will begin. Collapse is the story of a handful individuals as they attempt to retain their humanity …and survive a post-apocalyptic world where, more often than not, all you have left is yourself. A world where monsters swarm every street, and horror haunts every thought.
