The Scarlet Plague
About the book
What if the world you knew vanished in a heartbeat? Would humanity survive—or vanish with it?
In The Scarlet Plague, Jack London—the master of adventure and realism—dives into the eerie silence of a world ravaged by disease. Written in 1912, this terrifyingly prophetic novel imagines the collapse of civilization following a global pandemic that wipes out nearly all human life.
Set decades after the disaster, an old man recounts the fall of the modern world to his grandsons. As he tells the tale, readers are drawn into a stark landscape where humanity has reverted to tribal survival, and knowledge has become myth.
"An early masterpiece of apocalyptic fiction… unsettling in its accuracy."
