Captain Edmund Hopkins thought he had scrubbed his city clean of its monsters. He’s the local hero. But when a teenage girl is found mutilated under a flickering warehouse light with the words GO TO SLEEP smeared in her blood, Edmund realizes the nightmare isn't over. Six stories above the rotting streets, sixteen-year-old Josh and his older neighbor Daniel stare down at the asphalt, desperate to feel something. Starved for meaning in a monochrome, apathetic world, their search for salvation drags them through underground psychedelic trips, the sordid depths of the city's underbelly, and ultimately, into the ultimate high: taking a human life. As the body count rises and the boundary between reality and hallucination frays, the paths of the weary detective and the nihilistic youths hurtle toward a bloody collision. Because the legend of Jeff the Killer isn’t just an internet ghost story to scare kids. It’s a philosophy. It’s a calling. And it's demanding new disciples. Warning: This story delves into the darkest corners of the human psyche. It contains graphic violence, drug use, heavy nihilism, and mature themes. Read at your own risk.

Families turn on each other. Streets fill with blood. Civilization fractures under the weight of something it cannot understand. Governments scramble. Militaries mobilize. Entire cities are sealed behind walls of steel and fire as the world races to contain what may already be unstoppable. All evidence points to a terrorist attack. A foreign agent. A biological weapon. A deliberate act of war. But the truth is far worse. There was no grand conspiracy. No master plan. No shadow organization pulling the strings. There was only one man. A shut-in. A failure. A nobody. Jeff Dracula Given power he does not understand, Jeff accidentally triggers the beginning of an zombie apocalypse, partially by accident. Now, as cities burn and humanity desperately fights the spreading infection, Jeff fearing being blamed for it all faces a choice: Turn himself in… and face the law. Or go into hiding amongst the chaos he started. He chooses neither, because Jeff Dracula isn’t trying to save the world. He’s just trying not to go to jail.
