Fire Candy

Fire Candy is set in the post-apocalyptic world where many humans found themselves unable to reproduce. Faced with possible extinction, they turn to science for a solution. Genetic engineering combines the genes of humans with the genes of animals, creating a race of half-human, half-animal people who are regarded as a lower species - Halves.

Fire Candy is a liquid-form drug which earns its name through its blood red colour and its effect on halves - once it is taken, the clock starts ticking to a fiery, explosive death. This is, consequently, why the halves race so much; they're always together, high on adrenalin and happy, so they'll never have to die sad or alone.


Sex, Juvenile Violence, Drug Abuse, all surrounding a deep story about prejudice and degradation. The story could be marked as a foreshadowing towards the future of our world and the downward-spiral affect that's going on. Lovely art, chilling plot and perhaps something that's disturbingly real especially with Biotechnology on the rise. Realistic, powerful and heart wrenching emotions minus the Naruto sappiness. Themes that are not easy to sallow, but well worth a read.
