Two teenage girls shack up together in the haunted house of a small town. Swamped by loneliness, drug abuse and psychosis, it seems their life choices will repeat indefinitely. When they're joined by a more precocious and popular girl from out of town, it can only lead to... the basement. Based on a true story, The Damned chillingly examines the darker side of small-town dynamics and human nature.

"An ordinary school day. But today, there is no going home. When the rest of the world has forgotten your existence, where do you run when the Apocalypse looms? The dock? The navy base? Or do you just sit tight and ride the whole thing out? In a city overcome with death, we are finally forced to start living."--Page [4] of cover.
