Mutagen: You Are What You Eat

The Hybrid Nightmare Series, Book 2

“You are what you eat. And now, it’s eating you.”

The world trusted Kyosei Biotech. Their genetically-altered meat was marketed as a breakthrough in sustainable food, a way to end world hunger. But there was something they didn’t tell the public.

Now, people are changing.

First, it’s the little things. A heightened sense of smell. Skin that heals too fast. Strange cravings. Then, it’s the things no one can explain—claws instead of fingernails. Bones that shift overnight. Eyes that glow in the dark.

And then, the disappearances begin.

Kaito Nakamura has already seen the truth behind Kyosei’s experiments. He knows the mutations aren’t an accident—they were planned. Now, hunted by both the government and those who have already transformed, Kaito must uncover the real purpose behind the mutagenic food supply before the world crosses the point of no return.

But some people don’t want to be saved.

As entire cities quarantine “infected” populations, Kaito and his allies uncover a terrifying possibility—Kyosei isn’t just mutating people. They’re selecting who gets to evolve. And the next stage of human evolution is already happening.

Some mutations can be controlled. Others can’t. Which one are you?

*Mutagen* is a chilling blend of sci-fi horror and dystopian thriller, perfect for fans of

*Black Mirror*, The Last of Us*, and *The Hunger Games*.
