Description
The blight fell across the face of the world like a shroud. It mutated so quickly that the virologists never really had a chance. America sealed its borders, but it was too late. By the time the first North American cannibalism clusters surfaced in Montreal, Winnipeg, and Vancouver, the blight was already incubating in many northern cities. A dozen weeks later, everything was gone. And yet, survivors have persisted. This is the story of the Keanes-an ordinary American family from what used to be Portland, Oregon-and their not-so-ordinary story of survival in the face of unthinkable human depravity. A 22,000-word novella written in the epistolary form, this hypertextual narrative has echoes of Stephen King's classic novel The Stand. It is appropriate for science fiction fans of all ages.
