The Little Prince in the Ossuary Novel

In a world devastated by Morgellons, a horrific disease transforming humans into inhuman creatures, humanity has made a desperate choice: abandoning their own nature to combat ravenous undead hordes. This path leads inevitably to humanity's extinction. Yet this bleak reality is merely illusion—a fabricated world created solely for entertainment. The true realm where humans exist transcends both inner and outer dimensions, dwelling in neither place. At the heart of this dark narrative is a young boy struggling through misery while clinging to his humanity. Against overwhelming despair, he gazes upward at the stars, holding fast to what makes him human in a world designed to strip it away. His desperate struggle to preserve his identity becomes the emotional core of this haunting tale, which won the 2017 Joara Novel of The Year Contest.
