I am the Infection
language
(M.W. Arnold June 4, 2016)
An ancient legend is brought up-to-date and given new relevance.
A new infection is spreading throughout the world, turning its innocent victims into werewolves hungry for human flesh. Two physicians who are also close friends suffer great personal tragedies from the disease—but their lives take quite different turns.
Dr. Faith Glorian watches her own young daughter gradually becoming a werewolf. She dedicates her life to finding an effective treatment, and hopefully even a cure, for the disease. But progress is disappointingly slow.
Dr. Elroy James witnesses his own young son being killed by a werewolf. He dedicates his life to a crusade for vengeance. He leads a paramilitary force on a mission to exterminate every werewolf—including Dr. Glorian’s daughter.
Faced with a deadly contagious disease for which there are no known treatments, how should society respond? With compassion and patience, or with unrelenting vindictiveness?
