Fogfall by Penny Moss

Bastian has made it his purpose to scavenge survival knowledge to trade with those who need it the most. In a world destroyed by a deadly parasitic fog, that’s basically everyone. Life is hard in a waterlogged country prone to inclement weather and mutant butt worms. Just when things can’t seem to get any worse, he ends up captured by a cannibalistic cult. Trapped in their cave where his only prospect is to become someone’s dinner, Bastian meets his one chance of escape, the human equivalent of a mental breakdown, Felix. A cheerful, unstable disaster of a man who dreams of seeing the sky, touching some grass, and getting infected. Felix also happens to have a valuable talent that could buy Bastian supplies, favour, maybe even a future. But as they flee the cave and struggle together to stay alive, his contempt for the jaunty cannibal turns into the biggest risk to his life yet. Because falling for someone in the middle of fighting blood-thirsty cults and mutated parasites will absolutely get him killed. Especially when that someone not only relies on him for survival, but insists on being infuriatingly irresistible. Fogfall is a post apocalyptic gay romance novel that explores the brutal nature of an infested Netherlands and the few people still inhabiting it.
