A meteorite fell into the Tennessee River in Decatur, Alabama. A fissure inside the lump of stone contained parasitic microbes that were released into the water. Small fish ate the parasite colonies. They were in turn eaten by larger fish, which were caught by a local fisherman. This introduced them into the human food chain and initiated a zombie apocalypse.It began with a 911 call in Decatur. When the caller didn’t speak to the dispatcher she sent the police, who called an ambulance after finding Roy Akins unconscious on the floor. Patient zero died in the Emergency Room of Decatur General Hospital.The cadaver was taken to the hospital morgue. Inside Mr. Akins’ body, the parasitic microbes that had killed him began to starve due to the lack of nutrients, normally provided by the host. This caused the clusters located inside his skull to become more active. They generated nerve impulses that they sent throughout the body. One by one, the parasites were able to reanimate Roy’s central nervous system. Brain damage from the lack of oxygen had destroyed the victim’s cognitive ability, and his circulatory system had collapsed and had to be restarted, all of which took time to happen.Two hours after his death, Roy awoke to a ravenous hunger.

What if the Earth had No Moon?
How could the Earth lose its moon?
The world’s first permanent moon base has been established by MoonX Ltd., a joint venture company with American, Chinese, and Russian government shareholders to promote the peaceful use and development of the moon for all. However, political tensions arise and raise the specter of total annihilation.
A young nuclear physicist, Rex, works on the base to create nuclear fusion using helium-3, but personal tragedy draws his mind away from his work. His fiancée, Avery, the captain of the first international mission to Mars launched from the moon, has gone missing.
With the help of his A.I. computer companion, Rex searches for answers to the cause of the loss of the Mars bound ship, but he discovers military secrets instead. In outer space, there is nowhere to run.
??? Excerpt
When Rex got back to the base, he went directly to the cafeteria. He found Mei having a late lunch consisting of plain white rice with a chunky pink substance, supposedly chicken, with peas and carrots. Rex sat down across from Mei. “Something good for lunch?”
“I’d like it better if I didn’t eat the same thing every day,” Mei said.
“You could opt for the beef stew,” Rex said.
“I’m a vegetarian,” Mei said.
Rex did not bother pointing out the glaring contradiction in her statement. Besides, he knew that there was barely any real meat in their food anyway.
“Aren’t you hungry?” Mei asked.
“Not yet,” Rex said. “I was actually coming to find you.”
“Why?”
“I was in the Russian lab.”
“How did you manage that? I don’t think you should be in there. You know how the company is sensitive about entry permissions.”
“I know, but I don’t think anyone is going to really care now.”
Mei stopped eating. “Find anything?”
“Actually, yes.”

“A darkly absurd tale of identity, regret, and rebirth.” — Publishers Weekly
What if everything that kept you stuck—fear, regret, memory—wasn’t holding you back, but shaping the story you were meant to live?
René is stuck—in a job that wears him down, in a life he never wanted, in a home that feels more like a waiting room than a place to live. Fear and regret have shaped his existence, leaving him paralyzed in the face of change. But when his estranged uncle delivers a letter from his recently deceased mother, everything shifts.
Inside the envelope lies a cryptic message about a hidden inheritance, a secret she took to her grave. At first, René approaches the matter reluctantly—tentatively tracing the edges of a mystery he barely understands. But what should be a straightforward search slowly dissolves into something more elusive: a tangle of old wounds, surreal detours, and emotional blind spots he’s spent a lifetime avoiding.
As reality blurs with dreams and his carefully laid plans unravel at every turn, René is forced to confront the one thing he’s never been able to face: himself.
The Night of the Animals is a slow-burning, introspective novel that blends absurdist fiction, dark humor, and stream-of-consciousness narration. Through fragmented recollections, metaphor-laden moments, and the looping logic of the anxious mind, it examines what it means to change when action itself feels impossible. A quiet reckoning disguised as escapism, it offers an inner epic—one where the real movement lies not in the events themselves, but in the consciousness they stir.
“The Night of the Animals is a fantastically unique tale that leans into massive anxiety, disillusionment, and the overwhelming weight of the past. Pascal’s keen attention to the nuances of family and the psychological troubles of his characters makes them feel incredibly real. Very highly recommended.”
— Reader’s Favorite ?????
“Filled with irony, dark humor, and conflict. This is good escapist fare with an original and unpredictable ending.”
— Reader’s Favorite ?????
“A meditative literary novel centered on grief, fractured family dynamics, and existential inertia. It offers vivid language, a dark sense of humor, and detailed introspection through its protagonist, René. The writing shows great intelligence and ambition.”
— Booksprout Early Reviewer
“A compelling, melancholic and unforgettable journey”
— Booksprout Early Reviewer
“The characters will rattle around in your brain.”
— Booksirens Early Reviewer
“Between the metaphorical depth that gave profound power to everyday moments and the dark humor that pulled me further in, Night of the Animals is written with a level of skill many writers won’t attain.”
— Booksirens Early Reviewer
“This book feeds the soul. It’s so different and original.”
