   Summary

   Evan Afton survives the Bite of ’83.

   The doctors call it a miracle, but Evan calls it something else.

   He wakes up in a hospital bed that feels too big, with a head that won’t stop hurting and a brother who won’t look him in the eyes.

   Michael didn’t mean for it to happen. Well, that doesn’t stop the guilt from eating him alive.

   And Evan—

   Evan doesn’t know if he hates his brother… or still loves him.
