Four old friends from the same trading floor fly into the Zavodsk Republic for two weeks of boar hunting in the Severniy Bor forest. No calls home. Off the grid, exactly as planned.

They walk back into town on October 19, 2014, and find it burning.

The border is sealed. The army is shooting anyone who approaches it. And the dead are not staying down.

Driven back into the forest with a rifle each and whatever they can carry, they face a Zavodsk winter with no resupply, no rescue, and no way to know how far this has spread. An ocean away in Manhattan, Evelyn Ellis is trying to get them home — learning Russian, coordinating men who do this kind of work, and spending a fortune to do it.

Told through diaries, encrypted audio, phone video, and salvaged documents, The Revenant Strain is a claustrophobic survival horror novel with the pulse of a military thriller — a story about isolation, loyalty, and watching the world collapse from the inside.

A found-document horror novel.
