The few remaining settlements are broken husks peppered with survivors and dangerous cults, each and every one as lost as he.

A Post-Apocalyptic Jaunt through a Psycho-Sexual Nightmare #i_001.jpg He awoke with a buzzing in his head, lost at sea… Hidden amidst the fractured remains of a sunken world are the answers the Mariner craves. The ocean is endless and yet he has the tools for such a hunt; an antique slave ship infested with Tasmanian devils, a crate of semi-automatic weapons, and a dreamlike clue formed loosely in his mind. Sinister impulses, however, gnaw at his soul, unravelling his sanity: a proclivity for violence and a hunger for rape. Surrounded by mindless zombies, flesh-eating eels and dangerous cults, this sadomasochist could be humanity’s last chance at unlocking the secrets of the crumbling universe. He’s a pervert, an addict and a monster, but might just hold the key to finding a route home… The Mariner is approximately 120,000 words long and contains scenes of a violent and sexual nature. Recommended only for adults.
