Under the Sietch Ediciones label, CATACLISMO is a powerful post-apocalyptic novel with elements of horror and mystery.
Inés, Teresa, Ignacia, and Victoria are four women living in a Santiago, Chile, devastated by a series of earthquakes. Faced with a routine based on survival and fear, they take refuge in ruined luxury hotels while observing the last vestiges of civilization and the variety of beasts around them: swarms of deformed, venom-spitting creatures; renegades who despise the female gender and sexually enslave their victims; and rats the size of St. Bernards that have taken over the streets of the upper-class neighborhood.
In a relentless battle against the beasts, Inés and her companions must escape through a crumbling city to reach their last hope: the promised land. Along the path of horror and blood, they surrender to hypnotic memories of the past and the enigmas of an apocalypse that hides more than one truth.
Inspired by Stephen King's books, Italian post-apocalyptic films from the 1970s and 1980s, and a handful of video games, CATACLYSM is a fast-paced survival novel where horror is mixed with a powerful reflection on time and the future.
