Incurable: Stories From The World After The Cure

An Anthology of Dark Transformation & Survival

When the borders of the known world expand, they reveal secrets best left forgotten. Incurable brings together a powerhouse lineup of dark fiction authors to explore a world forever altered by ancient lineages, viral curses, and dangerous choices. From isolated European train cars to the restless supernatural underbelly of modern cities, these characters must learn to navigate a shifting landscape where survival requires a brutal price.

Featuring “Grey Wolf” by Patrick Scott

In his compelling featured story, “Grey Wolf,” Patrick Scott takes readers on a journey into the world’s most remote, forgotten corners. When the light shines into the dark, you often uncover things you never expected—including a contagion that is truly, utterly incurable.
