summary
Synopsis
Aldrich Knight Bio
Aldrich Knight was born in England and began a career in design, working in high-pressure agency environments before leaving it behind at 27 to travel the world. The experience broadened his perspective and deepened his creative drive.
After returning briefly to England, Aldrich emigrated to Australia, eventually settling in Byron Bay. There, a renewed focus on balance and creativity led him back to his original passions — art and writing.
Now a father, Aldrich draws on personal experience and the complexities of modern life to inform his work. His debut novel, Infest, marks the beginning of an ambitious literary journey.
Two nights before Christmas, a silent menace descends upon Sydney. Mutated cockroaches with a ravenous hunger for flesh emerge from the shadows. The city becomes a battleground as the swarming creatures wreak havoc, catching humanity off guard in a relentless onslaught.
Authority crumbles in the face of the unprecedented threat, leaving the city in a state of anarchy. Individuals face a choice between cooperation and self-preservation. Their decisions shape their destinies in a new world where cockroaches have risen as the apex predators.
Infest delves into the lives of a diverse and disparate group of people forced together by the shared struggle for survival against the ruthless creatures and humanity’s darker side.
As the group battles through the transformed city, their journey becomes a test of physical survival and the resilience of the human spirit.
Caught in this nightmarish landscape, the survivors must navigate the relentless cockroach swarm and unsettling truths about themselves and their fellow humans.
Infest is a harrowing tale of humanity’s fight for survival in a world where the familiar has become grotesque, and the true nature of individuals is laid bare.
