About the Title — Affliction
In Affliction, Daniels introduces Seanna Burges, a 26‑year‑old paramedic who wakes to a world collapsing under a fast‑moving infection—one that reanimates the dead and destroys the living. But Seanna’s story breaks the rules of the genre the moment she’s bitten… and doesn’t die.
Her survival isn’t luck. It’s intentional.
Through Seanna’s first‑person narration, readers experience:
-
a fresh twist on infection lore
-
medical‑science‑driven suspense
-
tight, character‑centric storytelling
-
a mystery that deepens with every chapter
Daniels balances action with emotional resonance, crafting a narrative that is more than a survival tale—it’s a puzzle, a conspiracy, and a study of what makes one person different in a world where everyone else succumbs.
Supporting characters appear with purpose, each adding tension, insight, or danger. Loose ends are intentional, building toward revelations that leave readers hungry for the next installment.
Affliction stands out because it refuses to be predictable. It’s a zombie‑world story reimagined through science, identity, and the haunting question of why Seanna lives when others don’t.
