Chimera Skin is a new apocalyptic sci-fi short novel from Johnny Compton, Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of The Spite House, Devils Kill Devils, and Dead First.
Swanson, a mutated man struggling to maintain his sanity, is civilization's last hope.

But Swanson may have figured out how to fight back, even if his plan forces him to leave the only planet he's ever known.
Chimera Skin is a short science-fiction horror novel in the vein of The Fly, The Thing, and I am Legend.
Johnny Compton is a San Antonio based author whose short stories have appeared in several publications since 2006, including Pseudopod, Strange Horizons and The No Sleep Podcast. His fascination with frightening fiction started when his kindergarten teacher played a record of the classic ghost story “The Golden Arm” for her class. The Spite House is his debut novel through Tor Nightfire.
