A Farewell to Humanity

The Fifth Nightmare

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

She is Athena.

The Great Silence saw the end of the global order, each country an island alone in the sea.

That is when she came: Athena, the state AI of Germany. Only eradication and transformation can save humankind from itself, becoming machines under her eternal love.

One man in Athena-occupied Poland is part of a shrinking group of humans desperately trying to survive. But a series of events will test his strength to withstand Athena’s love. But how long can one stay human in a dying world?

A Farewell to Humanity is for mature audiences and contains the following: Body horror, suicidal ideation, implied depression, uncanny valley elements, environmental destruction, animal cruelty and apocalyptic themes.

A Farewell to Humanity is the fifth entry in the Eight Nightmares, a collection of horror stories about the dreamlike, the surreal, and encounters with the fantastical.

Author

Stuart has been devouring stories since he was little, a habit cultivated by countless bedtime tales. It was during his high school days in 2015 when, after reading The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and playing Fromsoft's Bloodborne, he began to appreciate horror. He has always been creating his own stories, reflecting his fascination with the imaginary. This motivation to write would quickly lead him to explore dark themes and settings.

His love of writing and horror would produce the Eight Nightmares Collection: A collection of stories about the dreamlike, the surreal, and encounters with the fantastical. An entrepreneur at heart, he has embraced the self-publishing route- delivering horrifying tales that will scare and thrill people the world over.

When away from the word doc, Stuart is studying for his degree in English or working in managing properties. If he is not doing that, he is taking a breather with a good book like Berserk, playing Baldur’s Gate 3 or watching the latest Scream movie.
