About Touchless (Unabridged)

#1 bestselling cosmic horror writer Donald Morrison’s Touchless is a haunting and emotionally devastating story of love, survival, and the unbearable cost of human connection in a world where touch means death. Seventeen-year-old Jennifer Diaz watched civilization collapse in a matter of days. No war. No warning. Just a silent, invisible change—skin-to-skin contact now brings instant death. Families vanished. Cities fell quiet. The simple act of reaching for another person became a fatal mistake. Those who remain exist in isolation, forced to relearn what it means to survive in a world stripped of its most basic human need. Traveling north with her mother and another surviving family, Jennifer meets Michael—a boy her age who understands her fear, her loneliness, and her grief. In the empty spaces left behind by a dying world, something fragile begins to grow between them. Something dangerous. Because in this new reality, even the smallest touch would mean losing everything.
