The Despair has plagued the earth for five years. Most of the world's population has inexplicably died by its own hand, and the few survivors struggle to remain alive. A mysterious, shadowy group called the Collectors has emerged, inevitably appearing to remove the bodies of the dead. But in the crumbling state of Florida, a man named Norman takes an unprecedented stand against the Collectors, propelling him on a journey across North America. It's rumored a scientist in Seattle is working on a cure for the Despair, but in a world ruled by death, it won't be easy to get there.
"Just when it seems that there are no new plots left to write about, David Oppegaard has come up with a doozy. His "The Suicide Collectors" takes us to a startling theme we haven't encountered before, with every page a thrilling new surprise."
Stan Lee, writer, editor, and the former president and chairman of Marvel Comics
"David Oppegaard's THE SUICIDE COLLECTORS is a wonderfully creepy debut novel filled with unnerving twists and turns! Unsettling, bleak and dangerous."
Jonathan Maberry, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of PATIENT ZERO
"Eloquent prose and haunting characters lift Oppegaard's astonishing debut..."
