Overview

""Bitter Breed showcases Dino Parenti's unique talent of writing smart horror with nuanced characters. He unearths the secrets of this cinematic story with amazing skill."" -Mercedes M. Yardley, two-time Bram Stoker Award winner of Little Dead Red and ""Fracture."" An elderly couple who've fled tragedy in the city for solitude in the Canadian Rockies... Two violent ex-cons on a mission to bust out one of their crew from a prison bus... Three scientists fleeing a clandestine military laboratory where dozens of their monstrous, aggressive creations have escaped... These lives are about to collide in a remote mountain diner in Last Chance, Yukon. Trapped inside The Last Chance Grill and cut off by a looming snowstorm, seven strangers find themselves surrounded by deadly, radically enhanced humanoid creatures designed to thrive in extreme climates, and who have tracked down their creators. Chief of these is the stoic but anguished Dr. Amos Huber, hired by a government splinter group to employ his genius in militarized experiments involving climate change. Crushed by the death of his only child, Amos struggles to reconcile his secretive past while also trying to band together the disparate, clashing group of scientists, diners, and determined ex-cons holding everyone hostage. If they can survive the night when the creatures are their strongest, most cunning, and hungriest, they might be able to summon help and prevent their excursion into more populated areas. Bitter Breed is not just a last-stand, eco-horror survival thriller, but also an examination of regret, grief, and future anxieties.
