Case Zero

di Marisol Ortega (Autore)

Marisol Ortega, 2025

In a world where the end didn't come suddenly, but rather gradually, this work delves into the precise moment humanity crossed an invisible threshold from which there was no turning back. It's not just a story of the infected, ruined cities, or extreme survival: it's a raw and profoundly human portrait of what happens when fear, despair, and poor choices combine. Through an intense and immersive narrative, the reader witnesses the progressive collapse of society: from the first ignored signs to the total breakdown of order, shelters, trust, and morality. Each chapter builds an oppressive atmosphere, where terror comes not only from the walking dead, but also from the living who must decide who they are when the rules no longer exist. The book explores in depth themes such as betrayal among survivors, faith taken to extremes, the rise of cults that glorify the end, and the unsettling evolution of that which should no longer exist. There are no perfect heroes or absolute villains: there are ordinary people facing impossible choices, carrying silent guilt and making sacrifices that seek not glory, but meaning. Beyond the explicit horror, the story stands out for its emotional and reflective weight. Each page invites the reader to ask themselves what they would do in a world without sun, without shelters, and without promises of rescue. The narrative uses subtle analogies with daily life before the collapse, making the terror feel close, recognizable, uncomfortably real. In its final pages, the work takes an introspective and powerful turn: the true origin of the apocalypse is not a monster, but a human decision. The story comes full circle, showing that the end of the world does not begin with visible destruction, but with irresponsibility, arrogance, and the disregard for ethical boundaries. "Not all endings come with a bang. Some are born in silence." This is not just an apocalyptic horror novel. It is an experience, a warning, and a profound exploration of the human condition taken to its extreme. Ideal for readers seeking a dark, intense, and thought-provoking story that not only entertains but leaves a lasting impression long after the final page.
