The First Days (as the World Dies, Book One) by Rhiannon Frater
This Is the Way the World Ends Not with a bang, not with a whimper, but with the rending and tearing of flesh. It begins on a peaceful, beautiful morning. Katie, a prosecutor, is driving to work when a dead man jumps into her car and tries to eat her. Elsewhere in the city, Jenni, a housewife, opens a bedroom door to find her husband devouring their infant son. Fate puts Katie outside Jenni's door when the younger woman flees her zombified family. Fate -- and Katie's quick reflexes behind the wheel -- see them safely out of the city while most of the living are quickly chased down by the undead. The two women begin a cross-Texas odyssey to rescue Jenni's oldest son and hopefully find safety . . . somewhere. . . . Jenni discovers the great joy of watching a zombie's head explode when she shoots its brains out. Katie learns that her analytical mind is perfect at planning the best attacks and escape routes. A small, isolated, fortified town is their only hope. Fewer than one hundred people have gathered there, clinging to civilization and to hope. They all know the zombies will come for them. But until that day, they will live, and love, and maybe even laugh. Joins the most imaginative of horrors with memorable characters and heartfelt honesty. - David Dunwoody, author of Empire and Dark Entities Beautiful and haunting. - American Horror BlogRhiannon Frater is the author of the As the World Ends zombie trilogy (Tor), as well as standalone works like The Last Bastion of the Living (named the #1 Zombie Release of 2012 by Explorations Fantasy Blog and the #1 Zombie Novel of the Decade by B&N Book Blog).
