Black Maple, Volume 1:

CAUTIONARY TALE

by Shannon Jackson

FIX, FIGHT, OR FLEE?

A little bit of apathy goes a long way when communities are already turning their backs on the marginalized and defenceless, reshaping society through cruelty and rejection. With a single bite comes betrayal, death and revenge, making for a gruelling week as the deadly Black Maple virus begins spreading throughout the largest metropolis in Canada.

Cassi Lane, an impetuous jill-of-all-trades hellbent on saving her brother Grayson and his roommate Drake from the ever-expanding threat, races to Toronto, only to discover they are responsible for unleashing the plague. Determined to undo their mistake at any cost, they embark on a nightmare journey to find their Patient Zed, Todd Scott, who is their best chance for a cure. But with the city descending into chaos, their scavenger hunt is not without sacrifices. The price they pay may be too steep as the body count climbs steadily and the window for escape grows smaller by the day.
