Note: According to a February 2016 blog post by the author, the first part of the book was expanded into the novel "Prelude to Mayhem" in 2016. The 2017 edition of "Static Mayhem" removed the first part.

Synopsis: On May 25th, nearly everyone in the world disappears. Harisson Cody is driving home from work on May 25 when the world as he knows it suddenly ceases to exist. In a blink, everyone disappears and the landscape is reduced to a smattering of random buildings and fragments of highway. Harisson appears to be the sole survivor and he spends his days cruising I-91 in New Hampshire, finding dead dinosaurs, advanced technological gadgets, and lights that function without any apparent source of electricity - but no other people. This all changes one day when he hears a woman's voice on the radio, urging all survivors to head towards Chicago. What follows is an epic journey through a bizarre landscape populated with advanced technology, dragons, magic, and destruction. Through the journey, Harrison learns that scrambling the world was just the first part of a horrific plan. The second part of the plan will destroy every remaining survivor. He is the key to stopping it but doing so will come at an unbelievable sacrifice. One he might not be willing to make. Static Mayhem is a #1 Novel on TheNextBigWriter.com, a semi-finalist in Amazon.com's Breakthrough Novel Award contest in 2008, and the 2008 Winner of the Strongest Start Novel Competition.
