​Intenze is the newest designer drug. Take it, and nightmares come alive. The fears of all those who “edge” summon the Thirst—a living miasma that thrives on terror. Rick Carlson needs to protect his family and dear friends from the horrifying storm that’s coming, but they don’t all want to be saved. And time is running out.
“A surreal psychedelic dream of horror, confusion, and just pure fear of the unknown.”
—Nev Murray, Stitched Smile Magazine
​
​“The characterization makes this novel a real standout. Schutz has the impressive ability of quickly sketching out believable back stories.”
—HorrorTalk
