Book Overview
THIS IS HOW THE WORLD DIES
From the author of the classic true-life haunted house book The Uninvited and the acclaimed horror-thrillers Glow and Gorilla, best-selling horror author Steven LaChance presents his most devastating vision yet: Grace, the third book in his Modern Monsters series.
What if the end of the world didn't come with fire or flood, but through a rising queen? Born Bernard, cast out and remade in defiance, Grace transforms from the brutality of the streets and the sanctuary of drag into a figure of beauty, rage, and survival. As a chemical "zombie drug" rips through St. Louis and spreads across the globe, hate-fueled factions rise and civilization fractures into silence.
At once apocalyptic and intimate, Grace reveals the truth that hate, not horror, is what destroys civilizations. Fierce and unshakable, Grace stands at the center of the storm, her very existence an act of resistance. But in a world collapsing into chaos, she must decide whether struggle will destroy her-or change her forever.
Unflinching, cinematic, and brutally human, Grace is not just a story-it is a reckoning. The monsters are not only outside of us, they are within us, waiting to consume everything.
THE WHITE QUEEN RISES
Trigger Warning: Grace contains graphic violence, psychological distress, and themes related to trauma, identity, and hate. It is intended for mature readers.
