This Wasted Land

She's lost and alone on a desolate world of monsters never before imagined. And if they don't kill her, the witch who has her boyfriend probably will. Alyx is a teenaged misfit who doesn’t like her mom, doesn't like school, and doesn’t like being told what to do. But she does like motorcycles, vintage hard rock, and her boyfriend Sam, a misfit in his own way. When a shape-shifting witch attacks them and snatches Sam onto a ghostly train, Alyx follows, only to find herself in a hellscape world: an endless gray desert of lost things, places, and people, prowled by grotesque monsters never imagined by her—or you.Struggling to survive, find Sam, and return home, Alyx endures horrors and heartbreak as she learns that the witch is but a slave of the ancient, inhuman being who rules this wasted land—and who craves to take Alyx and Sam for himself.Love horror/dark fantasy?

I loved the story, the characters, the mood, the monsters, the surprises. This book is never predictable."

About the Author

I'm Kenton Kilgore.I write books for young adults, and adults who are still young. I craft characters you'll care about, and worlds you'll get lost in.My stories of wonder and terror, adventure and peril will make you think, and make you feel.The influences that inspire me run from Shakespeare to comic books, poetry to hard rock, mythology to monster movies.There's no author like me, and my stories aren't for everyone. They're unique. They're intense. They challenge the SF/F genre. They'll challenge you.And they're absolutely killer.
