BROOKLYN, N.Y. - s4story -- "Funny, scary, and at moments painfully relevant to modern times, [ANTICHRIST SUPERTASTER] is a dark, dystopic, punk-pop classic. A road trip from Hell that's a joy to travel."
—Brendan Deneen, bestselling author of ALIEN: UNCIVIL WAR and THE CHRYSALIS

"[ANTICHRIST SUPERTASTER] is a powerful book, so original, filled with both wonder and horror, hope and fear. It's a funny, moving, scathing commentary – shades of MAUS and JOJO RABBIT, the bastard love child of Chuck Palahniuk and Irvine Welsh."
—Richard Thomas, Bram Stoker, Shirley Jackson, and Thriller Award finalist

"The most original post-apocalyptic novel I've read in years. Shannon Barracato delivers an all-too-believable dystopia with gallows humor and vivid imagination in this genre-defying tale of magic, mayhem, and brotherly love. True horrors abound, but the darkness has a beating heart."
—Douglas Wynne, author of RED EQUINOX

A concentration camp filled with the families of political power players. Cannibals. Zombies. A cult of undesirable immortals obsessed with David Foster Wallace and tennis. And a boy with supernatural talents. Is Eli Roth the new messiah or something far worse?  Shannon Barracato's ANTICHRIST SUPERTASTER (August 6, 2024; $15.99) tells a story of hope and despair like no other.

Eli Roth is a self-loathing adolescent savior living in a Washington, D.C., concentration camp with his terminally ill mother and the little brother he brought back to life. When Eli's mother dies, he must fulfill the promise he made to escape with Daniel and show him that life can be good, even in their bleak and treacherous post-apocalyptic world. But when things don't work out at their grandmother's house, Eli and Daniel hit the road and are taken in by a tennis-obsessed cult of lesser gods, who interpret Eli's epileptic seizures and overly sensitive palate as sure signs that the boy is the Antichrist and must be destroyed.
